Changing the Damper Pedal’s Resonance

On an acoustic piano, depressing the damper pedal makes the notes you play resonate with other strings, adding rich reverberations and fatness to the sound. The damper pedal on the HP-2 recreates this resonance (sympathetic resonance) when depressed.

You can select from eight levels of depth for the resonant sound (resonance level).

This is set to “5” when the instrument is turned on.

*This setting is valid only for some piano tones. It cannot be made for other tones.

1.Hold down the [Reverb] button and [Split] button, and press the [-] or [+] button.

The currently specified value will be displayed.

Larger values will produce a deeper effect.
