Chapter 8 Various Settings

■Changing How Rapidly Sounds Are Expressed According to the Force Used to Play the Keys

(Hammer Response)

You can adjust the timing with which sounds are produced according to the force used to play the keys. This function is called “Hammer Resonance.”

■Adjusting the Resonant Sounds

(String Resonance)

When the keys are pressed on an acoustic piano, the strings for keys that are already pressed also vibrate sympathetically. The function used to reproduce this resonance is called “String Resonance.”

At Step 3 in “Procedure” (p. 138), touch <String Resonance>.

When a key is pressed on an acoustic piano, it causes a hammer to move and strike the strings, producing sound. The hammers move more slowly when the keys are played gently, meaning that sounds are produced just slightly later than when you play the keyboard with greater force.

When the Hammer Response function is on, the interval between the time a key is pressed and the time sound is produced varies according to the force used to play the key. The more gently the key is pressed, the more delayed the timing of the sound.

At Step 3 in “Procedure” (p. 138), touch <Hammer Response>.

Touch <ON> to turn the Hammer Response function on.

Touch the screen slider to adjust the time it takes for a key to sound after it is pressed.

The more the slider is moved to “Slow,” the more delayed the sound is when the keys are played softly. Conversely, sounds are produced more quickly when the keys are played with greater force.

Touch <OFF> to cancel the effect.
