Piano Sound Settings

Producing Sympathetic Resonance When

You Press the Damper Pedal

(Damper Resonance)

You can change the volume of the damper pedal 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 HP302/HP305 recreates this resonance (Damper Resonance) when depressed.

Setting	Description
	The resonance volume decreases as the value is
	lowered, while raising the value increases the
OFF, 1–10	volume of the Damper Resonance.
	The Damper Resonance function is not active when
	the value is set to “OFF.”

Producing the Resonance of the Strings

When the Keys Are Played

(String Resonance)

When you play the keys on an acoustic piano, the strings that are already playing resonate as well. The function that reproduces this effect is called “String Resonance.”

Setting	Description
	The resonance level decreases as the value is
OFF, 1–10	decreased, while increasing the value increases the
	amount of resonance. The String Resonance
	function is not active when the value is set to “OFF.”

Playing Sounds When the Keys Are Released (Key Off Resonance)

You can play the “key off” sound (the subtle sound produced when the keys are released) obtained when playing an acoustic piano.

.

Setting	Description
	The volume of the Key Off sound decreases as
	the value is lowered, while raising the value
OFF, 1–10	increases the volume of the Key Off sound.
	The Key Off Resonance function is not active
	when the value is set to “OFF.”
