Virtual Technician (PIANO sounds)

1. Voicing

This parameter attempts to recreate the technique of adjusting the action, hammers and strings of an acoustic piano, allowing the

tonal character and dynamics of the MP7’s piano sounds to be dramatically altered.



Voicing types

Voicing Type Description

Normal The normal tonal character of an acoustic piano throughout the entire dynamic range.

Mellow 1 A softer, more mellow tonal character throughout the entire dynamic range.

Mellow 2 An even soften tonal character than Mellow 1.

Dynamic A tonal character that changes dramatically from mellow to bright, depending on the strength of key strike.

Bright 1 A bright tonal character throughout the entire dynamic range.

Bright 2 An even brighter tonal character than Bright 1.

2. Stereo Width

This parameter adjusts the width of the stereo sound.

3. String Resonance

This parameter adjusts the volume of the 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.

4. Damper Resonance

This parameter adjusts the volume of the damper resonance.

Depressing the damper pedal of an acoustic piano raises all dampers,

allowing the strings to vibrate freely. When a note or chord is played on

the piano with the sustain pedal depressed, not only will the strings of

the notes played vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in

sympathetic resonance.

5. Key-o Eect

This parameter adjusts the volume of the key-o eect.

When playing an acoustic piano – particularly in the bass region of the

keyboard – if a key is played with force and released quickly, it is often

possible to hear the faint sound of the damper touching the strings

immediately before the vibrations are stopped.

6. Damper Noise

This parameter adjusts the volume of the damper noise.

When the damper pedal is depressed and released, it is often possible to

hear the sound of the damper head touching and releasing the strings.

7. Hammer Delay

This parameter adjusts the delay of the hammer striking the

string when playing with pianissimo.

8. Fall-back Noise

This parameter adjusts the volume of the noise heard when the

keyboard action ‘falls back’ after a key is released.

9. Topboard

This parameter changes the position of the piano’s topboard.

When playing an acoustic grand piano, the position of the instrument’s

topboard (lid) aects both the volume and ‘openness’ of the tone

produced. A fully open topboard allows sound waves to reect o the

polished lid surface and project into the room, while a closed lid has the

opposite eect, resulting in a darker, more opaque tone.
