Changing the Damper Pedal’s Resonance

On acoustic pianos, when the damper pedal is depressed, additional strings are released to resonate with the sound of the keys that have been played, adding richness and breadth to the sound. The damper pedal on the pt-2700 recreates this resonance when depressed. This resonance is called “Sympathetic Resonance.”

Eight levels of resonance are available.

This is set to “4” when the power is turned on.

Playing Songs Using Tunings from Classical Music

Your instrument also allows you to perform using the tunings that were in use at the time that classical music (such as Baroque) was composed. Most modern songs are composed based on assumption that equal-tempered tuning, the tuning in use almost universally today, will be used when performing. However, in the age of classical music there were a variety of different tunings in existence. Try performing using tunings from those olden times so you can hear what the chords in certain pieces sounded like originally.

“Equal temperament” is placed in effect each time the keyboard’s power is turned on.
