Damper Noise

When the damper pedal of an acoustic piano is pressed and released, it is often possible to hear the sound

of the damper head touching and releasing the strings.

The CA17 digital piano reproduces this sound, with the Damper Noise setting allowing the volume of this

sound to be changed.

* This setting will aect acoustic piano sounds only.

The Damper Noise value is changed within the range of O, 1 - 3, with higher values resulting in a louder eect.

String Resonance

String Resonance refers to a phenomenon that exists in acoustic pianos whereby the strings of held notes

resonate ‘sympathetically’ with other notes of the same harmonic series.

The CA17 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the String Resonance setting allowing the volume

of this resonance to be changed.

* This setting will aect acoustic piano sounds only.
