. Topboard
When playing an acoustic grand piano, the position of the instrument’s topboard (lid) aff ects both the volume and
‘openness’ of the tone produced. A fully open topboard allows sound waves to refl ect off the polished lid surface
and project into the room, while a closed lid has the opposite eff ect, resulting in a darker, more opaque tone.
The AnyTimeX2 piano attempts to simulate these characteristics, with four diff erent topboard positions.
* This Virtual Technician setting will aff ect acoustic piano sounds only.
