Chapter 5. 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-970 recreates this resonance (damper 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 enabled only with the piano tones. You cannot set this for other tones.

1.Hold down the [Brilliance] button, and press the [-] or

[+] button.

When you continue holding the [Brilliance] button, the currently specified value will be displayed.

Larger values will produce a deeper effect.
