Detailed Tone Settings (Designer)
Adjusting Resonance when
the Damper Pedal Is Depressed
(Sympathetic Resonance)
NOTE
This setting is available only for certain piano tones.
For details on the tones to which this applies, refer to “Sound
List” (PDF).
For details on how to obtain the PDF, refer to “Obtaining PDF
Manuals” on the front cover.
You can adjust this resonance when the damper pedal is depressed
(Sympathetic Resonance).
On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will allow
the remaining strings to resonate in sympathy with the sounds that
you played from the keyboard, adding a rich resonance. This feature
reproduces that resonance sound.
Parameter Value Explanation
Switch
OFF, ON When set to ON, the eect is applied.
Depth
0–127 Depth of the eect
Damper
0–127
Depth to which the damper pedal is pressed
(controls the resonant sound)
Pre LPF
16–15000 Hz,
BYPASS
Frequency of the lter that cuts the
high-frequency content of the input sound
(BYPASS: no cut)
Pre HPF
BYPASS, 16–15000
Hz
Frequency of the lter that cuts the
low-frequency content of the input sound
(BYPASS: no cut)
Peaking Freq
16–15000 Hz
Frequency of the lter that boosts/cuts a
specic frequency region of the input sound
Peaking Gain
-15–+15 dB
Amount of boost/cut produced by the lter
at the specied frequency region of the
input sound
Peaking Q
0.5, 1.0, 2.0,
4.0, 8.0
Width of the frequency region boosted/cut
by the Peaking Gain parameter (larger values
make the region narrower)
HF Damp Freq
16–15000 Hz,
BYPASS
Frequency at which the high-frequency
content of the resonant sound will be cut
(BYPASS: no cut)
LF Damp Freq
BYPASS, 16–15000
Hz
Frequency at which the low-frequency
content of the resonant sound will be cut
(BYPASS: no cut)
Level
0–127 Output Level
Damper Oset
0–127
Volume of additional slight resonance when
the damper pedal is not pressed
Editing the Modulation FX
(Modulation FX)
Here you can edit the modulation FX parameters.
1. While holding down the [SHIFT] button, operate the
MODULATION FX [DEPTH] (or [RATE]) knob.
The Modulation FX screen appears.
2. Select the parameter that you want to edit, and use the
[DEC] [INC] buttons or the value dial to edit the value.
Parameter Value Explanation
Type
Refer to the eect list (p. 58).
Species the type of Modulation FX.
The editable parameters will depend on
the eect type that’s selected.
Parameter Value Explanation
Routing
MOD FX (Modulation FX)
g TR/AMP (Tremolo/Amp
Simulator)
TR/AMP (Tremolo/Amp
Simulator) g MOD FX
(Modulation FX)
Lets you select the routing of the
Modulation FX and the Tremolo/Amp
Simulator.
By switching the Routing type, you can
change the eect that’s applied to the
sound.
For example, suppose that you chose
Chorus as the MOD FX and chose
E.PIANO for TR/AMP; with the MOD FX
g TR/AMP setting, the chorus sound will
be output in monaural, but with the TR/
AMP g MOD FX setting it will be output
in stereo.
Switch
OFF, ON Turns the Modulation FX on/o.
MEMO
For details, refer to “Eect List” (p. 58) and “Eect Parameter Guide”
(PDF).

Manuals” on the front cover.
Editing Tremolo/Amp Simulator
(Tremolo/Amp Simulator)
Here’s how to edit the Tremolo/Amp Simulator parameters.
1. While holding down the [SHIFT] button, operate the
TREMOLO/AMP SIM [DEPTH] (or [RATE]) knob.
The Tremolo/Amp Simulator screen appears.
2. Select the parameter that you want to edit, and use the
[DEC] [INC] buttons or the value dial to edit the value.
Parameter Value Explanation

the sound.
For example, suppose that you chose

E.PIANO for TR/AMP; with the MOD FX
g TR/AMP setting the chorus sound will
be output in monaural, but with the TR/

Tremolo/Amp simulator types
Type Explanation
1
NORMAL
This is an amp with a at frequency response. It allows you to
add a tremolo eect and distortion.
2
A.PIANO
In addition to NORMAL, this reproduces the open/closed state
of a grand piano’s lid.
