5. LISTENING TO THE DEMONSTRATION PIECES
A demonstration piece and a technical demonstration to give an idea of its incredible sound
capabilities are recorded in the Allegro. The instructions for selecting and playing these pieces are
given below.
1. Playing back the demonstration piece.
The Allegro contains a demonstration
piece which highlights the instrument's
potential and expressiveness.
To listen to it, simply hold pressed the the
[REVERB] key and press the [PLAY-DEMO]
key
To stop playback of the DEMO, simply
press the [PLAY-DEMO] key.
2. Activating the technical demo.
All the piano timbres offered by the Allegro
are derived from the painstaking sampling of
some of the world's best grand pianos. As
well as the quality of the stereo samplings,
the instrument also contains a number of
special features to give the most faithful
reproduction possible of all the shades of the
original instrument's sound, such as
reproduction of the vibration of the frame, the
noise emitted by the hammer mechanism,
and all the other typical components of the
piano "ambience". All these features are
reproduced inside the piano thanks to the use
of complex mathematical algorithms, which
analyse the physical situation of the
performance in progress at every moment
and apply the components listed above
accordingly.
To underline and isolate these
components of the fundamental timbre, hold
pressed the [CHORUS] key and press the
[PLAY-DEMO] key
To exit the function, simply press the
[PLAY-DEMO] key.
