4) STRING RESONANCE

String Resonance refers to a phenomenon present among acoustic pianos, whereby the strings of held notes resonate ‘sympathetically’ with other notes of the same harmonic series. The String Resonance function of the EP3 digital piano attempts to simulate this phenomenon.

￿Step 1

Press and hold the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, then press the PIANO button.

The LED indicators for the TOUCH, TRANSPOSE, and PIANO buttons will start to flash, indicating that the String Resonance function has been selected.

The String Resonance value can be set within the range of 1 to 10. Setting the String Resonance to ‘Off’ will disable the function entirely.

A String Resonance value of ‘1’ produces a very subtle effect, while the maximum level of ‘10’ creates a stronger, more pronounced resonance.

￿Step 3

Press the TOUCH or TRANSPOSE button to exit String Resonance setting mode.

The LED indicators for the TOUCH, TRANSPOSE, and PIANO buttons will stop flashing.

￿Any changes made to the String Resonance setting will remain until the power is turned off.

￿When the power is turned off, the String Resonance setting will return to the default value of ‘5’, however it is possible to use the Memory Backup function to store the preferred String Resonance value. Please refer to the instructions on page 56 for more information.
