Detailed Tone Settings (TONE DESIGNER)
Parameter Value Explanation
Duplex Scale
0–10
Adjusts the sound of the
sympathetically vibrating
aliquot strings on an acoustic
piano.
Higher values increase the
volume of the sympathetic
vibration.
What is Duplex Scale?
“Duplex Scale” refers to a system that causes
sympathetic vibrations in the sections of the
string toward the front and toward the back.
It can produce sound that is richer and
brighter by adding the strings higher
harmonics.
Because no damper (sound-stopping
mechanism) is applied to the front or back
sections of the string, the resonating sounds
linger even after the sound of the string stops
when you release the played key.
Key O
Resonance
0–10
Adjusts resonances such as the
key-o sound of an acoustic
piano (subtle sounds that are
heard when you release a key).
Higher values increase the
volume of the resonances.
Cabinet
Resonance
0–10
Adjusts the body resonance of
the grand piano itself.
Higher values will produce a
larger body resonance.
Sound Board
Resonator
0–4
When you play a chord, this
setting improves the clarity
of the individual notes in
the chord, creating a more
beautiful resonance.
Higher settings produce a
clearer resonance.
Damper Noise 0–10
Adjusts the damper noise (the
sound that occurs when the
strings of an acoustic piano
are released by pressing the
damper pedal).
Increasing this value increases
the sound that is heard when
the strings are released.
Key O Noise 0–10
This adjusts sympathetic
vibrations such as an acoustic
pianos key-o sound (the
subtle sound that occurs when
you release a note).
Higher settings will make the
sympathetic vibration louder.
Parameters of SuperNATURAL piano tones
(tone numbers 0001–0018, 0028–0039, 0042–0045)
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.
Parameter Value Explanation
Nuance
TYPE1, TYPE2,
TYPE3
Changes the Tone’s subtle
nuances by altering the phase
of the left and right sounds.
* This eect is dicult to hear
when headphones are used.
Damper Noise 0–127
Adjusts the damper noise (the
sound that occurs when the
strings of an acoustic piano
are released by pressing the
damper pedal).
Increasing this value increases
the sound that is heard when
the strings are released.
Duplex Scale
0–127
Adjusts the sound of the
sympathetically vibrating
aliquot strings on an acoustic
piano.
Higher values increase the
volume of the sympathetic
vibration.
What is Duplex Scale?
“Duplex Scale” refers to a system that causes
sympathetic vibrations in the sections of the

sections of the string, the resonating sounds
linger even after the sound of the string stops
when you release the played key.
String
Resonance
0–127
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.
Key O
Resonance
0–127
Adjusts resonances such as the
key-o sound of an acoustic
piano (subtle sounds that are
heard when you release a key).
Higher values increase the
volume of the resonances.
Hammer Noise -2–0–+2
Adjusts the sound of the
hammers striking the strings of
an acoustic piano.
Higher values increase the
sound of the hammers striking
the strings.
Character -5–0–+5
Higher values produce a
harder sound; lower values
produce a more mellow sound.
