Changing Various Settings
Changing the Damper Pedal’s
Resonance
On an acoustic piano, depressing the damper pedal makes the
notes you play resonate with other strings, adding rich
reverberations and fatness to the sound. The damper pedal on
the DP-900 recreates this resonance (sympathetic resonance)
when depressed.
You can select from eight levels of depth for the resonant
sound (resonance level).
This is set to “5” when the instrument is turned on.
* This setting is valid only for some piano tones. It cannot be
made for other tones.
1. Hold down the [Reverb] button and [Split]
button, and press the [-] or [+] button.
The currently specified value will be displayed.
Larger values will produce a deeper effect.

Tuning to Other Instruments’
Pitches (Master Tuning)
In situations such as when playing ensemble with other
instruments, you can tune the DP-900’s reference pitch to the
pitch of another instrument. The standard pitch generally
refers to the pitch of the note that’s played when you finger
the middle A key. This tuning of all the instruments to a
standard pitch is called “tuning.”
If you press the [Piano] button in step 2 of “Making Detailed
Settings (Function)” (p. 31), a display like the following will
appear.

indicated in the figure above.
Value 415.3 Hz-440.0 Hz-466.2 Hz
Power-up default setting 440.0 Hz
This setting remains in effect until you turn off the power.
