Detailed Settings for Various Functions
Adjusting Resonance when the Damper
Pedal is Depressed (DMPR RES)
You can change the volume of the damper pedal resonance. On an
acoustic piano, depressing the damper pedal makes the notes you play
resonate with other strings, adding rich reverberations and fatness to
the sound. The damper pedal on the FP-4F recreates this resonance
(Damper Resonance) when depressed.
Setting Explanation
OFF, 1–10
The resonance volume decreases as the value
is lowered, while raising the value increases the
volume of the Damper Resonance. The Damper
Resonance function is not active when the value
is set to “OFF.”
Adjusting the Resonant Sounds when
the Keys are Pressed (STRG RES)
When you play the keys on an acoustic piano, the strings that are
already playing resonate as well. The function that reproduces this
eect is called “String Resonance.”
Setting Explanation
OFF, 1–10
The resonance level decreases as the value is
decreased, while increasing the value increases
the amount of resonance. The String Resonance
function is not active when the value is set to
“OFF.”
Playing Sounds When the Keys Are
Released (KOFF RES)
You can play the “key o” sound (the subtle sound produced when the
keys are released) obtained when playing an acoustic piano.
Setting Explanation
OFF, 1–10
The volume of the Key O sound decreases as
the value is lowered, while raising the value
increases the volume of the Key O sound. The
Key O Resonance function is not active when
the value is set to “OFF.”
Changing How the Pedal Eects Are
Applied (D.PDL PRT)
When you press the damper pedal during Dual play or Split play, the
pedal eect is normally applied to both tones, but you can also select
the tone to which the eect is to be applied.
