° Panel Descriptions
[L] Button
The power turns on/o when you open/close
the lid.
If you want to turn the power on/o with the
lid left open, press the [L] button.
To turn the power o, long-press the [L]
button.
* Never disconnect the power cord while the screen
indicates“Don’t disconnect the power.”
Headphone Hook
Whenever you are not using the headphones, you can hang
them on the headphone hook.
* Don’t hang anything other than headphones on this hook, and don’t
apply excessive force to it. Doing so may damage the headphone hook.
Damper Pedal
Use this pedal to sustain the sound. While this pedal is held down, notes will be sustained for an extended time even if you
release your ngers from the keyboard.
With the damper pedal on an acoustic piano, when you step on the pedal it will at rst oer only a slight amount of
resistance, but as you press down further it will start to feel much heavier. On the unit, this change in the feeling of resistance
is simulated.
On an acoustic piano, when you step on the damper pedal, you’ll rst hear the sound of the dampers releasing the strings.
Then, you should also be able to hear the sound of strings adjacent to the ones for the notes actually played resonate
sympathetically, resulting in a rich, resounding tone.
Additionally, when using half-pedaling techniques, the core of the sound disappears rapidly while a rich, spacious resonance
remains, producing a unique form of reverberation. On the unit, the unique, lingering tones produced by the half-pedaling
technique are reproduced in addition to released-string sounds (Damper Noise) and resonating sounds (Damper Resonance).
Sostenuto Pedal
The notes you are pressing when this pedal is depressed will be sustained.
Soft Pedal
This pedal is used to make the sound softer. Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that is not as strong
as when otherwise played with the equivalent strength. This is the same function as the left pedal of a grand piano. The
softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to which you press the pedal.
Turn the adjuster to lower it
until the adjuster is in rm
contact with the oor. In
particular, when you’ve placed
the piano on carpet, you must
turn the adjuster until it is
pressing rmly against the oor.

Piano designer parameter
Parameter Value Explanation
Lid 0–6
Adjusts the extent to which the lid of the grand piano
is open.
The sound will become more mellow as you close the
lid of the piano in the screen. The sound will become
brighter as you open the lid of the piano in the screen.

Duplex Scale.
Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration
louder.
Full Scale String
Res. O, 1–10
Adjusts the resonant sound of an acoustic piano (the
sound produced by the strings of previously-pressed
keys vibrating in sympathy with newly played notes, or
the sound of other strings vibrating in sympathy with
the notes you play while pressing the damper pedal).
Higher settings produce louder sympathetic resonance.
Damper
Resonance O, 1–10
Adjusts the overall resonance of the acoustic piano
when its damper pedal is pressed (the sound of
other strings vibrating in sympathy when you press
the damper pedal, and the resonance of the entire
instrument).
Higher settings produce louder sympathetic resonance.
Key O
Resonance O, 1–10
Adjusts sympathetic vibrations such as an acoustic
piano’s key-o sound (the subtle sound that occurs
when you release a note).
Higher settings produce greater tonal change during
the decay.
Cabinet
Resonance O, 1–10 Adjusts the body resonance of the grand piano itself.
Higher values will produce a larger body resonance.
Soundboard
Type 1–5
Selects how the soundboard of the acoustic piano will
resonate.
You can choose from ve dierent types of resonance.
Damper Noise O, 1–10
This adjusts the damper noise of the acoustic piano
sound (the sound of the damper releasing the strings
when you press the damper pedal).
Single Note
Tuning
-50–0–

slightly atter.
Single Note
Volume -50–0 Adjusts the volume of each key. Higher settings increase the volume.
Single Note
Character -5–0–+5
Adjusts the tonal character of each key. Higher settings
produce a harder sound, and lower settings produce a
softer tone.
Reset Setting
Here’s how the Piano Designer settings of the selected sound can be

˙ Personalizing Your Piano Sound (Piano Designer)
What is the duplex scale?
The Duplex Scale is a system of sympathetically vibrating strings sometimes
included in grand pianos.
These sympathetically vibrating strings are not struck directly with hammers,
but sound by vibrating in sympathy with the vibrations of other strings. By
resonating with the overtones, these strings add richness and brilliance to the
sound. These sympathetic strings are added only to the high register above
approximately C4. Since they do not have a damper (a mechanism that stops
them from sounding), they will continue sounding even after you play a note and
then release it to stop the sound of the string that was actually struck.
88-key settings

Indication Value Explanation
Master Tuning
Matching the Pitch with Other Instruments (Master Tuning)
When playing ensemble with other instruments and in other such instances, you can match the standard pitch to another instrument.
The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note that’s played when you nger the middle A key. For a cleaner ensemble sound while
performing with one or more other instruments, ensure that each instrument’s standard pitch is in tune with that of the other instruments. This
tuning of all the instruments to a standard pitch is called“master tuning.”
415.3 Hz–440.0 Hz–466.2 Hz
Temperament
Changing the Tuning Method (Temperament)
You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic temperaments (tuning methods).
Most modern songs are composed for and played in equal temperament, the most common tuning in use today. But at one time, there were a wide
variety of other tuning systems in existence.
By playing in the temperament that was in use when a composition was created, you can experience the sonorities of chords originally intended for
that song.
Equal This temperament divides the octave into twelve equal steps. It is the temperament that is most commonly used on today’s
pianos. Every interval has the same slight amount of dissonance.
Just Major In these temperaments, the primary triads are perfectly consonant. It is unsuited to playing melodies and cannot be
transposed, but is capable of beautiful sonorities.
The Just tunings dier from major and minor keys.
Just Minor
Pythagorean This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths and fths.
Although triadic chords are slightly dissonant, this tuning is suitable for songs that have a simple melody.
Kirnberger I As in the Just temperaments, the primary triads are consonant in this tuning. Beautiful sonorities are obtained when playing
songs that are written in keys appropriate for this tuning.
Kirnberger II This is a revision of Kirnberger I that reduces the limitations on the usable keys.
Kirnberger III
This is an improvement of the Meantone and Just tunings that provides a high degree of freedom of modulation.
Performances are possible in all keys. Since the resonance diers depending on the key, chords played in this temperament
resonate in diverse ways when compared to equal temperament.
Meantone
This temperament slightly narrows the fth relative to Just temperaments. While the Just temperaments contains two
types of whole tone (major whole tone and minor whole tone), meantone temperament uses only one type of whole tone
(mean whole tone). Transposition within a limited range of keys is possible.
Werckmeister
This temperament consists of eight perfect fths and four narrowed fths. Performance in all keys is possible. Since dierent
keys produce dierent sonorities, chords will resonate in diverse ways when compared to equal temperament (Werckmeister
I (III)).
Arabic This tuning is suitable for the music of Arabia.
Temperament Key
Specifying the Tonic Note (Temperament Key)
When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need to specify the temperament key for tuning the song to be performed (that is,
the note that corresponds to C for a major key or to A for a minor key).
If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select a temperament key.

* The acoustic projection eect (p. 10) is not reproduced if the SMF Playback mode is set to“External.” Some of the Piano Designer eects are also
not applied in this case.
Internal The most suitable tone for the song that’s playing is selected.
This setting is ideal when playing back an internal song or a song that was recorded on this unit.
External The currently selected tone is used when you play back the song.
This setting is ideal when playing back external data such as commercially available music data.
