Indication
Item Description
Lid
Lid *
Adjusts the degree to which the grand piano’s lid is open.
Closing the lid of the piano shown in the screen will produce a more
mellow tone. Opening the lid will brighten the tone.
Resonance
Damper Noise *
Adjusts the damper noise of an acoustic piano (the sound of the strings
being released when you press the damper pedal).
Duplex Scale *
Adjusts the sympathetic vibrations produced by the duplex scale of an
acoustic piano.
Higher values will increase the volume of the sympathetic vibration.
String
Resonance
Adjusts the string resonance of an acoustic piano (the sound of the
sympathetically vibrating strings for keys that are already held down
when you strike a different key).
Higher values will increase the volume of the sympathetic vibration.
Key Off
Resonance
Adjusts the sympathetic vibration produced by the key-off sound of an
acoustic piano (the subtle sound produced when you release a key).
Higher values will increase the volume of the sympathetic vibration.
Keyboard
Hammer
Response
This adjusts how your playing strength will affect the timing at which the
note sounds.
On an acoustic piano, pressing a key moves a hammer, which strikes a
string to produce sound. If you press the key softly, the hammer will move
slowly, meaning that it will take slightly longer (in comparison to a
strongly-played note) from the moment you press the key until the sound
is produced.
If the Hammer Response function is turned on, the time between the
moment you press a key until the sound is heard will change depending
on the strength with which you play. As you play more softly, this time
will become longer.
Hammer Noise
Adjusts the sound of the hammer striking the strings of an acoustic piano.
Higher values will produce a louder hammer strike.
Stretch
Tuning
Prset (Preset)
Applies the “stretched tuning” system that is distinctive to a piano, in
which the high range is tuned slightly sharper than standard tuning, and
the low range is tuned slightly flatter.
If you select Prset (Preset), the standard preset tuning curve of the FP-7 will
be used.
-50–0–+50
You can adjust the stretch tuning setting as desired.
Play the key whose pitch you want to adjust, then use the [-] [+] buttons
to adjust its pitch.
What are Duplex Scale?
The Duplex Scale is a system of sympathetically vibrating strings sometimes included in
grand pianos.
These sympathetically vibrating strings are not struck directly with hammers, but sound by
vibrating in sympathy with the vibrations of other strings. By resonating with the overtones,
these strings add richness and brilliance to the sound. These sympathetic strings are added
only to the high register above approximately C4. Since they do not have a damper (a
mechanism that stops them from sounding), they will continue sounding even after you play
a note and then release it to stop the sound of the string that was actually struck.
