3) DAMPER RESONANCE
When the damper pedal is depressed on an acoustic piano, all dampers are lifted up, allowing the strings to vibrate
freely. When a note or chord is played on the piano with the damper pedal depressed, not only will the strings of the
notes played vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance. The Damper Resonance
function of the AnyTimeX piano attempts to simulate this phenomenon.
Preparation
1. Turn on the AnyTimeX piano using the Power/Volume knob located on the right of the control box.
2. Depress the Mute pedal, then slide it gently to the left to mute the acoustic piano sound and activate
AnyTime mode.

Step 2
