Performance

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

Adjusts the extent to which the lid of the grand piano is open.

You can also adjust the openness of the lid by touching
in the Piano screen or the Piano Designer screen. Doing so will
also change the Lid setting.

If you touch <Reset>, the currently selected setting
(parameter) will return to its factory setting.
In situations such as when playing ensemble with other
instruments, you can tune the RM-700’s standard pitch to the pitch
of another instrument.
The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note that’s
played when you finger the middle A key.
This tuning of all the instruments to a standard pitch is called
“Master Tuning.”
* This setting applies to all tones.
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.
* This setting applies to all tones.

Playing Sounds When the Keys Are Released

The Key Off Resonance function is not active when the
value is set to “Off.”

Changing the Tuning (Temperament)

Setting Explanation
Equal

This temperament divides the octave into 12
equal parts. All intervals will be slightly out of tune
by the same amount.

Just Major

This temperament makes the 5th and 3rd intervals
pure. It is unsuitable for playing melodies and
modulation is not possible, but it produces
beautifully harmonious chords.
