Convenient Functions

Adjusting the volume balance between
accompaniment and keyboard
(Balance)

played from the keyboard and the volume of the song playback

or Pianist function (p. 32) accompaniment.

Setting

Decreases the volume of the song or accompaniment

Press [

Adjusting the Piano Sounds
(Piano Setting)

The HPi-7 is capable of reproducing a variety of the acoustic

piano’s distinctive characteristics. You can also adjust these to

suit your own taste and style.

*

This setting is valid when some piano sounds are selected.

Opening/Closing the Piano Lid (Lid)

This simulates the actual changes in sound that occur when the

lid of a grand piano is set at different heights.

Setting

1–6

The lid is opened more as the value is increased.

Adjusting Resonance when the damper pedal
is depressed (Damper Resonance)

You can adjust this resonance (Damper Resonance) when the

damper pedal is depressed.

On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will

allow the remaining strings to resonate in sympathy with the

sounds that you played from the keyboard, adding a rich

resonance. The resonance is called “sympathetic resonance.”

Setting

Off, 1–10

Increasing the value will increase the amount of

effect.

Changing How Rapidly Sounds Are Expressed
According to the Force Used to Play the Keys
(Hammer Response)

You can adjust the timing with which sounds are produced

according to the force used to play the keys.

When a key is pressed on an acoustic piano, it causes a hammer

to move and strike the strings, producing sound. The hammers

move more slowly when the keys are played gently, meaning

that sounds are produced just slightly later than when you play

the keyboard with greater force.

Setting

Off, 1–10

Increasing the value will increase the amount of

effect.

Adjusting the Resonant Sounds when the keys
are pressed (String Resonance)

When the keys are pressed on an acoustic piano, the strings for

keys that are already pressed also vibrate sympathetically. The

function used to reproduce this resonance is called “String

Resonance.”

Setting

Off, 1–10

Increasing the value will increase the amount of

effect.

Adjusting the depth of the effects
(Effect)

You can adjust the depth of the reverb (p. 27) and chorus (p. 27).

Refer to p. 54 for the procedure.

Setting

1–10

Increasing the value will increase the amount of

effect.

*

This setting is valid when the [Chorus] button or [Reverb] button

is turned on to apply an effect to the sound.

Holding down the [Reverb] or [Chorus] button, press the [+]
or [-] button to adjust the depth of each effect.

Setting the reference pitch and
temperament (Tuning)

Refer to p. 54 for the procedure.

Master Tune

In situations such as when playing in ensemble with other

instruments, you can adjust the HPi-7’s reference pitch to that of

another instrument. Middle A is used as the reference pitch for

tuning instruments.

The process of adjusting the reference pitch to match another

instrument is called “Tuning.”

Setting

415.3 Hz–440.0 Hz–466.2 Hz

Stretch Tuning

Pianos are generally tuned so that the low range is flatter and the

high range is sharper than equal tempered pitches. This method

of tuning is unique to the piano, and is known as “stretched

tuning.”

Setting

Description

On

This tuning curve expands the low range and high
range. It is suitable for piano solos. This setting is
selected when the power is turned on.

Off

This is the standard tuning curve. It is suitable
when playing in an ensemble with other
instruments.
