2) DAMPER RESONANCE

When the damper pedal is depressed on an acoustic piano, all dampers are lifted up, allowing the strings to vibrate freely. When a note or chord is played on the piano with the damper pedal depressed, not only will the strings of the notes played vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance. The Damper Resonance function of the CA111 piano attempts to simulate this phenomenon.

Step 1

Press the Menu button repeatedly, or press and hold the Menu button then press the Sor TValue buttons, until the Damper Resonance function is selected.

OR

2.Damper Reso. = 5

Step 2

The LED indicator for the Menu button will turn on.

The Damper Resonance menu function will be shown in the LCD display.

The level of resonance will be shown on the second line of the LCD display.

Press the S or TValue buttons to select the desired damper resonance level.

¡A damper resonance level of ‘1’ produces a very subtle effect, while the maximum level of ‘10’ creates a stronger, more pronounced resonance. Setting the damper resonance to ‘Off’ will disable the function entirely.

Step 3

Play the piano while using the damper pedal.

The degree of resonance will vary, depending on the value speciﬁed in Step 2.

Step 4

Press the Sound button to exit the Damper Resonance menu.

The LED indicator for the Menu button will turn off.

The selected sound will be shown in the LCD display.

Alternatively, press the Menu button again to select other menu functions.

The Damper Resonance function will only be applied to the Concert Grand, Concert Grand 2, Studio Grand, Studio Grand 2, Mellow Grand, and Mellow Grand 2 piano sounds.

The Damper Resonance function will return to the default setting of ‘5’ when the S and T Value buttons are pressed simultaneously, or when the power is turned off.

The User Memory function can be used to store the desired Damper Resonance setting, allowing the preferred Damper Resonance setting to remain selected even after the power is turned off. Please refer to the instructions on page 43 - 14) USER MEMORY - for more information.
