Brief Explanation of Temperaments | Kawai CE200 specs

When you play a key while holding down an adjacent key, an acoustic piano produces a sound as a result of string resonance. The CE200 simulates this phenomenon.

The string resonance volume defaults to "5" each time the power is turned off.

String resonance is not active when the sustain pedal is depressed.

The string resonance function is effective only for the acoustic piano sounds.

5. TEMPERAMENT

		The CE200 piano offers not only equal temperament (the modern
		standard) but also immediate access to temperaments popular during the
		Renaissance and Baroque periods. It should be interesting and educational
		to try some of the different temperaments, although the equal temperament
		is dominant today.
		Press the E.PIANO button while holding down the TOUCH and the
		TRANSPOSE buttons.
		The display alternatively shows “tMP” (= Temperament) and the symbol

		that indicates which type of temperament is in use.
		Use the VALUE buttons to change the type of temperament.
		BRIEF EXPLANATION OF TEMPERAMENTS
		EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (PIANO ONLY)
		EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (PIANO ONLY)
		This is the default temperament. If a piano sound is selected the tuning is
		stretched like an acoustic piano (EQUAL TEMPERAMENT). If any other

		type of sound is selected the tuning will be EQUAL (FLAT). An explantion
		of EQUAL TEMPERAMENT and EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (FLAT) is
		provided later in this section.
◆ NOTE		If a piano sound is used in a layer with any other sound then both sounds
		will use the EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (Stretched) tuning.
