Detailed Tone Settings (TONE DESIGNER)
Parameter Value Explanation
Sound Lift 0–127
Lets you change the way that
the sound responds when you
play the keyboard softly. For
example, this can be adjusted
suitably for solo performance,
or to prevent your sound from
being buried in the rest of the
band.
Increasing this value will
allow fairly loud sounds to
be produced even when you
play with a light touch, so that
your performance will not be
obscured by the playing of
your band.
Changing this value does not
aect the way in which the
sound responds to velocity.

Making Detailed Settings for the E. Piano Tones
If certain electric piano tones are selected, the following
parameters will be shown.
* For the tones corresponding to certain electric piano tones, refer
to “Tone List” (p. 70).
Parameter Value Explanation
Tone Color 0–127
Adjusts an eect that’s suitable
for each sound, such as timbre
or acoustic image.
Mechanical Key
On Noise
0–127
Here you can adjust the
loudness of the hammer strike
on an electric piano’s sound-
producing mechanism, such as
the tine or reed.
Higher settings produce a
louder hammer strike.
* Depending on the tone
that’s selected, this might
have no eect.
Parameter Value Explanation
Mechanical Key
O Noise
0–127
Adjusts the key-o sound
of the electric piano (the
operating sound of the key
and hammer when the key is
released).
Higher settings produce a
louder key-o sound.
* Depending on the tone
that’s selected, this might
have no eect.
Damper Noise 0–127
Adjusts the damper noise (the
noise heard when you press
the damper pedal to release
the tone bars).
Increasing this value will make
the damper noise louder.
* Depending on the tone
that’s selected, this might
have no eect.
Key O
Resonance
0–127
Adjusts resonances such as the
key-o sound (the faint sound
heard when you release a key).
Higher values produce a
louder key-o sound.
At a setting of 0 there will be
no key-o sound at all.
* Depending on the tone
that’s selected, this might
have no eect.
Hum Noise 0–127
Adjusts the amount of hum
and other noise that leaks into
the pickups.
Electric pianos were
susceptible to various types
of noise, and this noise
would sometimes be output
along with the sounds of the
performance. Depending on
the eect settings, such noises
can produce an authentic,
lively atmosphere.
Lowering this value makes
the sound clearer; raising this
value makes the sound dirtier.
At a setting of 0 there will be
no hum at all.
* Depending on the tone
that’s selected, this might
have no eect.
