DAMPER PEDAL 

 

 

With this function you can change the behaviour of the damper (or sustain) pedal of your 

digital piano. When it comes to acoustic pianos, the damper pedal cannot only be switched 

on and off but can be played in a nuanced manner (“half-pedaling“). Furthermore, the 

strings resonate when the pedal is depressed (“damper resonance“). These two features 

are simulated by your digital piano which contributes to a highly natural sound result.

 

 

   

To adjust the damper pedal settings, proceed as follows:

 

 

   

1. Enter the “Piano Settings“ Menu (-> see page 31) and navigate to the  

   

  submenu “Damper Pedal“ by using the upper/lower cursor keys.

 

 

   

2. Enter the submenu by pressing the right cursor key. The following 

   

  settings are adjustable now:

 

 

  

 • 

Half-Pedal Point:

  Here  you  can  define  the  point  at  which  half- 

   

   

pedaling should be activated when the damper pedal is depressed.

 

 

  

 • 

Damper Resonance:

 Determine, how intensively the resonance  

   

   

noise should be added when depressing the damper pedal.

 

 

   

3. Use the Exit softbutton to leave the menu.

 6.3.4

  

SYMPATHETIC RESONANCE

 

 

When pressing a key on an acoustic piano, some strings start resonating indirectly. This 

behaviour is simulated by your GEWA digital piano which contributes to a significantly 

natural sound. You can define the intensity of this feature here.

 

 

   

  To adjust the string resonance, proceed as follows:

 

 

   

  1.  Enter the “Piano Settings“ Menu (-> see page 31) and navigate to 

   

    the submenu “Sympathetic Resonance“ by using the upper/lower 

   

   

cursor keys.

 

 

   

  2.  With the right/left cursor keys, adjust the setting as desired. Check  

   

   

the result by playing on the keyboard.

 

 

   

  3.  Use the Exit softbutton to leave the menu.

UNA CORDA LEVEL

 

 

With this function you can determine how heavy the left pedal (“Una Corda level“) of your 

digital piano should have an impact on the sound.

 

 

   

  To adjust the Una Corda level, proceed as follows:

 

 

   

  1.  Enter the “Piano Settings“ Menu (-> see page 31) and navigate to  

   

    the submenu “Una Corda level“ by using the upper/lower cursor 

  

   keys.

 

 

   

  2.  With the right/left cursor keys, adjust the setting as desired.

 

 

   

  3.  Use the Exit softbutton to leave the menu.
