Kawai CE200 - Manual (Page 33)

33 FUNCTION BUTTONS
Function Buttons
When you play a key while holding down an adjacent key, an acoustic
piano produces a sound as a result of string resonance. The CE200
simulates this phenomenon.
The string resonance volume defaults to "5" each time the power is turned
off.
String resonance is not active when the sustain pedal is depressed.
The string resonance function is effective only for the acoustic piano
sounds.
5. TEMPERAMENT
The CE200 piano offers not only equal temperament (the modern
standard) but also immediate access to temperaments popular during the
Renaissance and Baroque periods. It should be interesting and educational
to try some of the different temperaments, although the equal temperament
is dominant today.
Press the E.PIANO button while holding down the TOUCH and the
TRANSPOSE buttons.
The display alternatively shows “tMP” (= Temperament) and the symbol
that indicates which type of temperament is in use.
Use the VALUE buttons to change the type of temperament.
BRIEF EXPLANATION OF TEMPERAMENTS
EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (PIANO ONLY)
This is the default temperament. If a piano sound is selected the tuning is
stretched like an acoustic piano (EQUAL TEMPERAMENT). If any other
type of sound is selected the tuning will be EQUAL (FLAT). An explantion
of EQUAL TEMPERAMENT and EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (FLAT) is
provided later in this section.
◆ NOTE
If a piano sound is used in a layer with any other sound then both sounds
will use the EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (Stretched) tuning.
