Damper Resonance

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 HP101 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.While holding down the [Metronome] and [Reverb/ Key Touch] buttons, press the appropriate key (C2–G2) on the keyboard.

Larger values will produce a deeper effect.

Setting the Tuning Curve (Stretch Tuning)

A piano is generally tuned to a pitch with a lower bass range and a higher treble range than equal temperament. This special tuning method for pianos is called “Stretch Tuning.”

→This effect works only with the piano tones.

Stretch Tuning is set to ON when the instrument is turned on.
