Tone: Set to the default setting for each tone.
OFF: Disables string resonance.
1-4: The higher the value, the stronger the string resonance.

Damper Resonance

When you press the damper pedal on an acoustic piano, the strings for all 88 keys are released and all the strings resonate with the harmonics of the keys that are struck. You can choose the characteristics of that resonance.

Tone: Set to the default setting for each tone.
OFF: Disables damper resonance.
1-4: The higher the value, the stronger the damper resonance.

Damper Noise

When you press the damper pedal in an acoustic piano, the damper separating from the piano wires produces a slight metallic ringing sound. You can choose the volume of that noise.

Tone: Set to the default setting for each tone.
OFF: No damper noise.
1 to 4: The higher the value, the louder the noise.

Key On Action Noise

When you strike the keys on an acoustic piano very softly, the sound (noise) of the mechanical operation is audible even without the hammers reaching the strings. You can choose the volume of that noise.

Tone: Set to the default setting for each tone.
OFF: No key-on action noise.
1 to 4: The higher the value, the louder the noise.

Key Off Action Noise
