YING THE
PIANO
9) VOICING
Voicing is a technique used by piano technicians to mould the character of a piano’s sound.
This function allows the tonal quality of the EP3 digital piano to be set to one of four voicing types:
Voicing type
Description
Normal
The normal tone character of an acoustic piano throughout the entire dynamic range. This
is the default voicing setting.
Mellow
A softer (mellow) tone character throughout the entire dynamic range.
Dynamic
The tone character will change dramatically from mellow to bright, depending on how soft or
hard the piano is played.
Bright
A brighter tone character throughout the entire dynamic range.
Step 1
Press the VOICING button.
The LED indicator for the VOICING button will turn on, indicating that a
different voicing type is being used.
Step 2
Press and hold the VOICING button, then press the
T
or
S
VALUE/BALANCE buttons to select the
desired voicing type.
The currently selected voicing type will be shown in the LED display.
Step 3
Press the VOICING button again to return to the standard (Normal) voicing setting.
The LED indicator for the VOICING button will turn off, indicating that the Normal voicing type is being used.
The voicing setting is global for all of the internal sounds. It is not possible to have individual voicing settings for each
internal sound.
Any changes made to the voicing setting will remain until the power is turned off.
When the power is turned off, the voicing setting will return to the default type of ‘Normal’, however it is possible to use
the Memory Backup function to store the preferred voicing type. Please refer to the instructions on page 56 for more
information.
NOTE : While voicing is a technique used for optimizing the tone of an acoustic piano, this function can be used on all
the sounds on the EP3 piano.
