Virtual Technician
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 Virtual Technician settings of the ES520 digital piano simulate these refinements digitally, allowing performers
to shape various aspects of the instrument’s character to suit their personal preferences.
* Any changes made by this operation will remain until the power is turned off.
Preferred settings can be stored in a Registration memory or Startup Setting. Please refer to page 37 and 58 for more information.
