according to the force used to play the keys. This function is
called “Hammer Resonance.”	At Step 3 in “Procedure” (p. 152), 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.
	Touch <ON> to turn the String Resonance function on.
At Step 3 in “Procedure” (p. 152), touch <Hammer
Response>.	Touch the screen slider to adjust the amount of effect
	applied.
	Moving the slider to “Max” increases the amount of
	resonance effect applied. Moving the slider to “Min” reduces
	the amount of effect applied.
	Touch <OFF> to cancel the effect.

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.
