Acoustic Piano Sound Characteristics
Display Name
Description
Setting Range
Hammer Response Hammer Response. The size of the hammers that strike the strings in an acoustic
piano changes according to the key range, so the timing of note sounding also
changes with the range. This settings lets you select timing of note sounding.
• Default: Optimum setting for currently selected tone.
Off: Fastest response across entire keyboard, regardless of range.
1 to 10: A greater value produces slower timing.
D (Default),
Off (Disabled),
1 to 10
Lid Simulator
Lid Simulator. Timbre changes depending on how much the lid of an acoustic piano
is open. You can select one of the lid opening settings described below.
• Default: Optimum setting for currently selected tone.
Closed: Lid closed.
Semi (Semi-open): Lid partially open.
Full (Full-open): Lid fully open.
Removed: Lid removed.

Damper Resonance Damper Resonance. Pressing the damper pedal on an acoustic piano opens all 88 of
the strings, causing all of the strings that are harmonics of the strings that are played
to resonate. You can select one of the resonance settings described below.
• Default: Optimum setting for currently selected tone.
• Off (Disabled), 1 to 10: A larger value increases the effect level.
D (Default),
Off (Disabled),
1 to 10
Damper Noise
Damper Noise. Damper noise is a slight metallic ringing sound that is generated as
the damper of an acoustic piano separates from the wires pedal when the damper
pedal is pressed. You can use the settings below to adjust the volume level of
damper noise.
• Default: Optimum setting for currently selected tone.
• Off (Disabled), 1 to 10: A larger value increases the noise level.
D (Default),
Off (Disabled),
1 to 10
String Resonance
String Resonance. Playing on an acoustic piano causes the strings that are harmonics
of the played strings to resonate. You can select one of the resonance settings
described below.
• Default: Optimum setting for currently selected tone.
• Off (Disabled), 1 to 10: A larger value increases the resonance level.
D (Default),
Off (Disabled),
1 to 10
Key On Action
Noise
Key On Action Noise. When the keys of an acoustic piano are tapped with
extremely light pressure, piano mechanism operation sound (noise) is produced
without the hammers reaching the strings. You can use the settings below to adjust
the volume level of the noise.
• Default: Optimum setting for currently selected tone.
• Off (Disabled), 1 to 10: A larger value increases the noise level.
D (Default),
Off (Disabled),
1 to 10
Key Off Action
Noise
Key Off Action Noise. Releasing the keyboard keys of acoustic piano generates
piano mechanism operation sound (noise). You can use the settings below to adjust
the volume level of the noise.
• Default: Optimum setting for currently selected tone.
• Off (Disabled), 1 to 10: A larger value increases the noise level.
D (Default),
Off (Disabled),
1 to 10
