Undamped String Resonance
The dampers of an acoustic piano span almost the full width of the keyboard. However, the topmost 18 keys
(approximately 1.5 octaves) do not incorporate dampers, as the shorter strings for these treble notes decay quickly
and therefore do not need to be dampened.

As a result, the strings of these ‘undamped’ treble notes are free to vibrate in sympathetic resonance with those of
lower keys – independently of the damper pedal position – helping to enrich the sound with additional harmonics
and tonal colour.
The CA98/CA78 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the Undamped String Resonance setting allowing
the volume of this resonance sound to be adjusted.
* This Virtual T
echnician setting will affect acoustic piano sounds only.
Adjusting the Undamped String Resonance volume
Long press and drag the slider to increase or decrease the
volume of the Undamped String Resonance setting.
* The Undamped String Resonance volume can be adjusted within the
range of Off, 1~10, with higher values resulting in a more pronounced
resonance.
* Any changes made to the Undamped String Resonance setting will
remain until the power is turned off.
* Preferred Undamped String Resonance settings can be stored to the
sound’s memory (in Sound mode) or a Favorite memory for convenient
recall. Please refer to pages 83 and 102 for more information.
