Decay Time
When playing an acoustic grand piano, the length of the instrument influences the speed at which held notes decay,
with longer grand pianos (i.e. longer strings) characterised by longer decay times.
The CA97/CA67 digital piano simulates this characteristic, with the Decay Time setting allowing the length of decay
while keys are pressed to be adjusted.
* This Virtual Technician setting will affect all sounds.
1. Selecting the Decay Time setting
After entering the Virtual Technician menu (page 80):
Press the d or c buttons to select the Decay Time setting.
2. Adjusting the Decay Time volume
Press the e or f buttons to increase or decrease the value of
the Decay Time setting.
* The Decay Time value can be adjusted within the range of
1~10, with larger values resulting in increased decay times.
* To reset the Decay Time setting to the default value, press the e and f
buttons simultaneously.
* Any changes made to the Decay Time setting will remain until the
power is turned off.
* Preferred Decay Time settings can be stored to the sound’s memory,
or a Registration memory for convenient recall. Please refer to pages
81 and 33 for more information.
3. Exiting the Decay Time setting
Press the FUNCTION button (BACK) to exit the Decay Time
setting and return to the Function Menus screen.
