Voicing

~~~

[Available

Voicing

types:

Normal/Mellow/Dynami/Bright]

Voicing

is

a

technique

used

by

traditional

piano

technicians

to

mold

the

character

of

an

acoustic

piano’s

sound

by

physically

adjusting

the

action,

hammers

and

strings.

The

MP9500

voicing

parameter

simulates

this

technique

electronically.

This

function

is

a

very

powerful

way

to

enhance

and

customize

cach

sound

in

the

MP9500.

The

most

useful

on

Mellow:

Produces

Dynami:

This

setting

is

not

possible

with

Softly

played

notes

will

have

the

tone

of

a

mellow

voicing

and

notes

played

harder

will

have

the

tone

of

a

bright

voicing.

This

setting

produces

a

dramatic

change

from
