Damper Resonance
Pressing the damper pedal of an acoustic piano raises all dampers, allowing the strings to vibrate freely. When a
note or chord is played on the piano with the sustain pedal pressed, not only will the strings of the notes played
vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance.
The ES520 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the Damper Resonance setting allowing the volume of this
resonance sound to be adjusted.
* This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano sounds only.
Adjusting the Damper Resonance volume
After entering the Virtual Technician menu (page 63):
Press the or MENU buttons to select the Damper Resonance
setting.
Press the or VALUE buttons to adjust the volume of the
Damper Resonance setting.
* The Damper Resonance volume can be adjusted within the range
of Off, 1~10, with higher values resulting in a more pronounced
resonance.
Press the EXIT button to exit the Damper Resonance setting and
return to the main settings menu.

Damper Noise
When the damper pedal of an acoustic piano is pressed and released, it is often possible to hear the sound of the
damper head touching and releasing the strings.
The ES520 digital piano reproduces this sound, with the Damper Noise setting allowing the volume of this sound
to be adjusted. The speed at which the damper pedal is pressed will also influence the prominence of the damper
noise, with fast pedalling creating a very pronounced sound.
* This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano sounds only.
