String Resonance
String Resonance refers to a phenomenon that exists in acoustic pianos whereby the strings of held notes resonate
‘sympathetically’ with other notes of the same harmonic overtone series.
The CA98/CA78 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the String Resonance setting allowing the volume of
this resonance to be adjusted.

echnician setting will affect acoustic piano sounds only.
Demonstrating String Resonance
To experience the string resonance phenomenon, gently hold down the ‘C’ key as shown in the illustration below, then play (strike and
release quickly) any of the keys marked with a
symbol. In addition to the sound of each note played, it should also be possible to
hear the strings of the first ‘C’ key resonating ‘sympathetically’, thus demonstrating String Resonance.

Adjusting the String Resonance volume
Long press and drag the slider to increase or decrease the
volume of the String Resonance setting.
* The String Resonance volume can be adjusted within the range of Off,
1~10, with higher values resulting in a more pronounced resonance.
* Any changes made to the String Resonance setting will remain until
the power is turned off.
* Preferred String Resonance settings can be stored to the sound’s
memory (in Sound mode) or a Favorite memory for convenient recall.
Please refer to pages 83 and 102 for more information.
