Kawai MP8II manual String Resonance Int Piano only, Key-off Effect Int Piano only, TX Ch Ext only

6.2.4 String Resonance (Int Piano only)

The volume of string resonance can be changed to the level you prefer. The value changes from 0 (off) to 10.

<String Resonance>

In acoustic pianos, there are strings corresponding to each key. When a key is pressed, strings of other keys in the related harmonic series to the note played resonate. This effect is called "sound resonance", which makes the sound of an acoustic piano full and rich.

*The display shows this parameter only when Piano sound is selected.

6.2.5Key-off Effect (Int Piano only)

Especially for low-pitched tones, when a key is played strongly and released quickly, there will be the sound of the damper touching the strings immediately before the sound stops. The key-off effect simulates this phenomenon, and allows you to adjust the key-off volume to your taste. The value changes from 0 (off) to 10.

*The display shows this parameter only when Piano sound is selected.

6.2.6Voicing (Int Piano only)

This parameter re-creates electronically the voicing technique of adjusting the action, hammers and strings on an acoustic piano to change the tone character. This function is a very powerful way to enhance and customize the piano response for each player and each sound.

The effect is only available for the internal piano sounds. Other sounds cannot use this parameter.

Normal:	Produces the normal tone of an acoustic piano throughout the
	entire dynamic range.
Mellow:	Reproduces the effect of a softer hammer surface. It produces a
	mellower tone throughout the entire dynamic range.
Dynamic:	This setting is not possible with an acoustic piano. Softly played
	notes will have the tone of a mellow voicing and notes played
	harder will have the tone of a bright voicing. This setting produces
	a dramatic change from mellow to bright throughout the entire
	dynamic range.
Bright:	Produces a brighter tone throughout the entire dynamic range.

*The display shows this parameter only when Piano sound is selected.
