About String Resonance
Even when the damper pedal is not depressed on an acoustic piano, the strings for any notes held will be un-dampened
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 resonate.
For example, when playing the keys shown below 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. Depending on the value
specifi ed in Step 2, it should be possible to clearly hear the String Resonance simulation.
The String Resonance function will only be applied to the Concert Grand, Concert Grand 2, Studio Grand, Studio Grand
2, Mellow Grand, Mellow Grand 2, Modern Piano and Rock Piano piano sounds.
The String Resonance function will not be applied while the damper pedal is depressed.
The String Resonance function will return to the default setting of ‘5’ when the
S and T Value buttons are pressed
simultaneously, or when the power is turned off.
The User Memory function can be used to store the desired String Resonance setting, allowing the preferred String
Resonance setting to remain selected even after the power is turned off. Please refer to the instructions on page 43
- 14) USER MEMORY - for more information.
