Display Parameter Value Description
Lid Open/Close Lid 0–6
Adjusts the extent to which the lid of the grand piano is open.
The sound will become more mellow as you close the lid of the piano in the
screen. The sound will become brighter as you open the lid of the piano in the
screen.
Keyboard
Key Touch
Fixed, Extra Light,
Light, Medium,
Heavy, Extra Heavy
Adjusts the touch sensitivity of the keyboard.
If you select “Fixed,” notes will sound at a uniform volume regardless of how
strongly you play the keyboard.
Key Touch Offset -10–0–9
This lets you make further detailed adjustments to the keyboard sensitivity as
appropriate for the strength of your fingers.
Higher settings will produce a heavier playing feel.
Hammer Response Off, 1–10
This adjusts the time from when you play a key until the piano sound is heard.
Higher settings will produce slower response.
Hammer Noise -2–0– +2
This adjusts the sound produced when the hammer of an acoustic piano strikes
the string. Higher settings will produce a louder sound of the hammer striking
the string.
Tuning
Master Tuning 415.3–440.0–
466.2 Hz
This adjusts the HP207s standard pitch (the pitch of the middle A note).
Temperament
Equal, Just (Major),
Just (Minor), Arabic,
Kirnberger,
Meantone,
Pythagorean,
Werkmeister
You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic temperaments
(tuning methods).
Most modern songs are composed for and played in equal temperament, the
most common tuning in use today. But at one time, there were a wide variety of
other tuning systems in existence.
By playing in the temperament that was in use when a composition was
created, you can experience the sonorities of chords originally intended for that
song.
For details, refer to “Temperaments” p. 29.
Tonic C–B
When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need to specify
the tonic note for tuning the song to be performed (that is, the note that
corresponds to C for a major key or to A for a minor key).
If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select a tonic note.
Stretched Tuning
Off, Preset, User
(User: -50–0– +50)
This lets you specify the amount of “stretched tuning,” a tuning method
specifically for pianos, in which the high range is tuned slightly sharper, and
the low range is tuned slightly flatter.
If you select “Preset,” a standard tuning curve created for the HP207 will be
used.
If you select “User,” you’ll be able to edit the stretched tuning yourself. Play the
key whose pitch you want to adjust, then use the [-] [+] buttons to adjust its pitch.
(If you adjust the “Preset” setting, the selection will change to “User.”)
Resonance
Damper Resonance Off, 1–10
This adjusts the damper resonance of the acoustic piano sound (the sympathetic
vibration produced in strings other than those actually played when you press
the damper pedal).
Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.
Damper Noise Off, 1–10
This adjusts the damper noise of the acoustic piano sound (the sound of the
damper releasing the strings when you press the damper pedal).
Duplex Scale Off, 1–10
This adjusts the sympathetic vibrations of an acoustic piano’s Duplex Scale (p.
29).
Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.
String Resonance Off, 1–10
This adjusts the string resonance of the acoustic piano sound (the sympathetic
vibrations of strings for previously played notes that occur when you play
another note).
Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.
Key Off Resonance Off, 1–10
This adjusts sympathetic vibrations such as an acoustic piano’s key-off sound
(the subtle sound that occurs when you release a note).
Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.
