Chapter 2. Performance

Changing the Timing of Sounds According to the
Force Used to Press the Keys
(Hammer Response)

This adjusts how your playing strength will affect the timing at which the note

sounds. This is called the “Hammer Response” function.

On an acoustic piano, pressing a key moves a hammer, which strikes a string to

produce sound. If you press the key softly, the hammer will move slowly, meaning

that it will take slightly longer (in comparison to a strongly-played note) from the

moment you press the key until the sound is produced.

If the Hammer Response function is turned on, the time between the moment you

press a key until the sound is heard will change depending on the strength with

which you play. As you play more softly, this time will become longer.
