fig.d-piano.eps_60

When you press the One Touch Program [Piano] button, the KR will switch to the

following settings, regardless of the current panel settings.

If the keyboard has been split into upper and lower sections (p. 31), the

keyboard returns to a single section.

The pedals return to their usual functions (p. 21).

• The Grand Piano sound is automatically selected.

The effect is automatically set to “Sympathetic Resonance” (p. 42).

Changing the Piano Sound

Touch the piano lid on the screen, and listen to the tone change as you slide your

finger or touch

or

to open and close the lid.

This simulates the actual changes in sound that occur when the lid of a grand piano

is set at different heights.

You can change the piano

performance settings by

touching <Functions> on the

screen. For more information,

take a look at “Changing the

Settings for One-Touch Piano”

(p. 152).

When you select an internal

song or music file that includes

the lyrics data, <

>

appears in the Piano screen or

Basic screen. Touch this to

display the lyrics.

Since this instrument faithfully

reproduces real acoustic piano

action and response, keys

played in the top one-and-one-

half-octave range continue to

resonate, regardless of the

damper pedal action, and the

tone in this range is audibly

different. The Key Transpose

setting (p. 103) can also be

used to change the range that

is unaffected by the damper

pedal.
