More about tones
Polyphony
This digital piano can play up to 64 notes at the same time. Note, however, that the tones listed below are capable of only
Touch Response
The touch response feature causes changes in the volume and the sound of the tone in accordance with how much pressure you apply to the keyboard, just like an acoustic piano.
Touch response affects the HARPSICHORD tone only slightly, because the original musical instrument normally produces the same sound, no matter how much pressure is applied.
Digitally Sampled Tones
The tones of this digital piano are produced using digitally recorded samples of actual musical instruments. Not all of the instruments, however, can produce tones across the entire range played by this digital piano (A0 through C8). In such a case, digital recordings are used for the range that actually can be produced by the original instrument, and synthesized tones are used for notes that cannot be produced naturally. Because of this, you may notice very slight differences between natural notes and synthesized notes in sound quality and in results produced when using effects. These differences are normal and do not indicate malfunction.
Adjusting the Brilliance of a Tone
You can use the BRILLIANCE slider to adjust the clarity and sharpness of a tone to suit your music and personal preferences.
1. Slide the BRILLIANCE slider left and right to adjust the brilliance of a tone to the level that you want.
•Moving the slider towards MELLOW produces a more mellow sound, while moving it toward BRIGHT produces a brighter sound.
