Virtual Technician

An experienced piano technician is essential to fully realise the potential of a fine acoustic piano. In addition to meticulously tuning each note, the technician also performs numerous regulation and voicing adjustments that allow the instrument to truly sing.

The Virtual Technician settings of the CA93/CA63 digital piano simulate these refinements digitally, allowing performers to shape various aspects of the instrument’s character to suit their personal preferences.
