Virtual Technician
(Smart Mode)
An experienced piano technician is essential to fully realise the potential of a fine acoustic piano. In
addition to meticulously tuning each note, the technician also performs numerous regulation and voicing
adjustments that allow the instrument to truly sing.
The CN27 digital piano’s Virtual Technician simulates these refinements digitally, with ten preset
configurations that intelligently adjust various characteristics of the grand piano sound to match different
musical styles.
* If the Sound Preview function is enabled, a short passage will be played after selecting each Virtual Technician type .
* The preferred Virtual Technician present can be stored to memory using the Startup Setting function . Please refer to page 39 for more information .
