Key-off Effect
When playing an acoustic piano – particularly in the bass region of the keyboard – if a key is played with force and
released quickly, it is often possible to hear the faint sound of the damper touching the strings immediately before
the vibrations are stopped.
In addition, the speed at which keys are lifted will also affect the character of the sound. For example, when lifting
the keys quickly (e.g. staccato playing) the ‘release’ portion of the sound will be noticeably shorter than when lifting
the keys slowly (e.g. legato playing).
The CA98/CA78 digital piano reproduces both characteristics, with the Key-off Effect setting allowing the volume of
the key-off sound to be adjusted, and the key-off release speed detection to be turned on or off.
* This Virtual T
echnician setting will affect acoustic piano and electric piano sounds.
Adjusting the Key-
off Effect volume
Long press and drag the slider to increase or decrease the
volume of the Key-off Effect setting.
* The Key-off Effect volume can be adjusted within the range of Off,
1~10, with higher values resulting in a more pronounced effect.
* When the Key-Off Effect setting is set to Off, the key-off release speed
detection will also be disabled, and the speed at which keys are lifted
will not affect the character of the sound.
* Any changes made to the Key-off Effect setting will remain until the
power is turned off.
* Preferred Key-off Effect 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.
