(11) Hammer Noise
Drag
When playing an acoustic piano, it is also possible to hear the physical sound of the hammers striking the strings, along with the
sound of the keys making contacting with the piano keybed.
The hybrid piano reproduces this sound, with the Hammer Noise setting allowing the volume of this sound to be adjusted.
While the default value is intended to simulate the natural volume level an acoustic piano, it may desirable to increase or decrease the
volume of this sound to produce a more or less prominent attack.
Value
Description
Off
Hammer Noise will not be applied to the selected sound.
1
A small amount of Hammer Noise will be applied to the selected sound.
10
A large amount of Hammer Noise will be applied to the selected sound.
(12) Hammer Delay
Drag
When playing pianissimo passages using an acoustic piano, there may be a perceived delay between a key being pressed and the
hammer striking the strings.
If desired, the hybrid piano can recreate this delay, with the Hammer Delay setting allowing the delay length to be adjusted.
While the default value of “Off” is intended to replicate a well-regulated concert grand piano, with an immediate connection between
the keyboard and hammers, some players may find it desirable to introduce a minor delay, in order to mimic different types of piano
or instruments with a slightly worn keyboard action.
Value
Description
Off
Hammer Delay will not be applied to the selected sound.
1
A small amount of Hammer Delay will be applied to the selected sound.
10
A large amount of Hammer Delay will be applied to the selected sound.
(13) Topboard
Tap
When playing an acoustic grand piano, the position of the instrument’s topboard (lid) affects both the volume and “openness” of the
tone produced. A fully open topboard allows sound waves to reflect off the polished lid surface and project into the room, while a
closed lid has the opposite effect, resulting in a darker, more opaque tone.
The hybrid piano simulates these characteristics, with five different topboard positions.
Type
Description
Open3
Simulates the character of a fully open topboard, with maximum sound projection.
Open2
Simulates the character of a half open topboard, with reduced sound projection.
Open1
Simulates the character of a partially open topboard, with limited sound projection.
Closed2
Simulates the character of a closed rear topboard, but open front topboard, with limited sound
projection.
Closed1
Simulates the character of a closed rear topboard and closed front topboard, with minimum sound
projection.
