FUNCTIONS

Virtual Technician

An experienced piano technician is essential to fully realise the potential of an acoustic piano. As well as meticulously tuning each note, the technician performs regulation and voicing adjustments that allow a fine instrument to truly sing.

Virtual Technician functions simulate such refinements digitally. The Voicing feature shapes tonal characteristics, while the Touch function allows the performer to select the level of touch sensitivity suitable for his/her playing style.

The String Resonance feature causes held notes to resonate ‘sympathetically’ with other notes of the same harmonic series, while Damper Resonance recreates a similar phenomenon, whereby sympathetic and adjacent notes resonate while the damper pedal is depressed. Finally, the Key Off Effect recreates the sound of bass hammers returning to their strings following a rapid note release.
