Changing the damper pedal’s resonance

On an acoustic piano, the damper pedal causes the notes you play to resonate along with other strings, adding rich reverberations and fatness to the sound. The damper function on the ep-760 recreates this resonance (Sympa- thetic 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.

NOTE

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

•This function is only meaningful if you connect the supplied DP-2 footswitch to the Pedal [Damper] socket.

AHold down the [Reverb] and [Split] buttons, and press the [–] or [+] button.

The currently specified value will be displayed. Larger values produce a deeper effect.

For details on each function, refer to the explanations below.

CPress the [+] or [–] button to change the value.

Press the [+] and [–] buttons simultaneously to return to the initial setting.

Leaving Function mode

DPress the [Metronome] or [Beat] button.

The button’s indicator will return to the previous state.

Tuning to other instruments’ pitches (Master Tune)

When playing ensemble with other instruments, you can tune the ep-760’s reference pitch to the pitch of another instrument. The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note that’s played when you finger the mid- dle A key. This tuning of all the instruments to a stan- dard pitch is called “tuning.”

If you press the [Piano] button in step B of “Function settings”, a display like the following will appear.

The last three digits are indicated in the display. “440.0 Hz” is indicated in the figure above.

Setting range: 415.3 Hz~440.0Hz~466.2 Hz

Initial setting: 440.0 Hz

This setting remains in effect until you turn off the power.

Changing the temperament

You can play classical styles such as Baroque using his- toric temperaments (tuning methods).

Nowadays, compositions are generally created with equal temperament in mind and are played using equal temperament. However, in the past, a variety of temper- aments were used. Playing a composition with its origi- nal tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the chords that the composer originally intended.

If you press the [E.Piano] button in step B of “Function settings”, a display like the following will appear.

1 C

Temperament Tonic

You can choose from among the seven temperaments described below.
