Virtual Technician Settings
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 CA95/CA65 digital piano simulate these refinements digitally, allowing
performers to shape various aspects of the instrument’s character to suit their personal preferences.
* The table below indicates which Virtual Technician settings affect to all sounds, or acoustic piano and electric piano sounds only.
