FUNCTION SETTINGS
3) DAMPER EFFECT
When the damper pedal is depressed on an acoustic piano, all dampers are lifted up, allowing the strings to
vibrate freely. When a note or chord is played on the piano with the damper pedal depressed, not only will the
strings of the notes played vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance. The
Damper Effect function of the EP3 digital piano attempts to simulate this phenomenon.
Step 1
Press and hold the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, then press the VOICING button.
The LED indicators for the TOUCH, TRANSPOSE, and VOICING buttons will
start to fl ash, indicating that the Damper Effect function has been selected.
The name of the function ‘dEF’ (Damper Effect) and the current settings will be shown in the LED display.
Step 2
Press the
T
or
S
VALUE/BALANCE buttons to increase or decrease the Damper Effect level to the
desired value.
The Damper Effect value can be set within the range of 1 to 10. Setting the Damper Effect to ‘Off’ will disable the
function entirely.
A Damper Effect value of ‘1’ produces a very subtle effect, while the maximum level of ‘10’ creates a stronger,
more pronounced resonance.
Step 3
Press the TOUCH or TRANSPOSE button to exit Damper Effect setting mode.
The LED indicators for the TOUCH, TRANSPOSE, and VOICING buttons will stop fl ashing.
Any changes made to the Damper Effect setting will remain until the power is turned off.
When the power is turned off, the Damper Effect setting will return to the default value of ‘5’, however it is possible to
use the Memory Backup function to store the preferred Damper Effect value. Please refer to the instructions on page
56 for more information.
