Parameters of V-Piano Technology tones
(tone numbers S01–S10)
Parameter Value Explanation
Tone Color 0–127
Adjusts an eect that is
suitable for each sound, such
as the timbre or the acoustic
image.
Lid 0–6
Reproduces the way the
brightness of a grand piano’s
sound is aected by how much
the piano’s lid is opened.
The lid is opened more as the
value is increased, creating a
brighter sound.
String
Resonance
0–10
When the keys are pressed
on an acoustic piano, the
strings for keys that are
already pressed also vibrate
sympathetically. The function
that reproduces this is called
“String Resonance.”
Increasing the value increases
the amount of eect.
Damper
Resonance
0–10
This adjusts the damper
resonance of the acoustic
piano sound (the sympathetic
vibration produced in strings
other than those actually
played when you press the
damper pedal).
Higher settings will make the
sympathetic vibration louder.
Hammer Noise -2–0–+2
This adjusts the sound of the
hammer striking the string of
an acoustic piano.
Higher values will increase the
sound of the hammer striking
the string.
