that represents the volume.

and 5 is the default setting.

String resonance will not be active when “Off” is selected.

ABOUT STRING RESONANCE

Even when the sustain pedal is not depressed on an acoustic piano, the

strings for any notes you are holding will be un-damped and will resonate

freely in sympathy with the strings of other notes that you play if they are

part of the same harmonic series. In addition, adjacent notes will also be

resonated. The string resonance function simulates this phenomenon. This

is called "string resonance."

For example, when you play the keys shown in next page while holding

down the C key, the string of the C key resonates and produces a sound.

(Quietly press and hold down the C key, and then quickly tap each of the

keys shown below. You can hear the string resonate.)
