Adjusting the Piano Sound to Your Taste (Piano Designer)
Piano Designer Settings
Parameter
Value Description
Lid
0–6
Adjusts the extent to which the lid of the grand piano is open.
The sound will become more mellow as you close the lid of the piano in the screen. The sound will
become brighter as you open the lid of the piano in the screen.
Master Tuning 415.3–440.0–466.2 Hz This adjusts the HP307’s standard pitch (the pitch of the middle A note).
Damper
Resonance
Off, 1–10
This adjusts the damper resonance of the acoustic piano sound (the sympathetic vibration produced in
strings other than those actually played when you press the damper pedal).
Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.
Key Touch
Fixed, Super Light, Light,
Medium, Heavy,
Super Heavy
Adjusts the touch sensitivity of the keyboard.
If you select “Fixed,” notes will sound at a uniform volume regardless of how strongly you play the
keyboard.
Key Touch Offset -10–0–9
This lets you make further detailed adjustments to the keyboard sensitivity as appropriate for the
strength of your fingers.
Higher settings will produce a heavier playing feel.
Hammer Noise -2–0–2
This adjusts the sound produced when the hammer of an acoustic piano strikes the string.
Higher settings will produce a louder sound of the hammer striking the string.
Hammer Response Off, 1–10
This adjusts the time from when you play a key until the piano sound is heard.
Higher settings will produce slower response.
Duplex Scale Off, 1–10
This adjusts the sympathetic vibrations of an acoustic piano’s Duplex Scale (p. 36).
Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.
String Resonance Off, 1–10
This adjusts the string resonance of the acoustic piano sound (the sympathetic vibrations of strings for
previously played notes that occur when you play another note).
Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.
Key Off Resonance Off, 1–10
This adjusts sympathetic vibrations such as an acoustic piano’s key-off sound (the subtle sound that
occurs when you release a note).
Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.
Cabinet Resonance Off, 1–10
Adjusts the body resonance of the grand piano itself.
Higher values will produce a larger body resonance.
Damper Noise Off, 1–10
This adjusts the damper noise of the acoustic piano sound (the sound of the damper releasing the
strings when you press the damper pedal).
* No damper noise will be heard if Damper Resonance is set to “Off.”
Temperament
Equal, Just Major,
Just Minor, Arabic,
Kirnberger, Meantone,
Pythagorean,
Werckmeister
You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic temperaments (tuning methods).
Most modern songs are composed for and played in equal temperament, the most common tuning in
use today. But at one time, there were a wide variety of other tuning systems in existence.
By playing in the temperament that was in use when a composition was created, you can experience
the sonorities of chords originally intended for that song.
For details, refer to “Temperaments” (p. 36).
Temperament Key C–B
When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need to specify the temperament key for
tuning the song to be performed (that is, the note that corresponds to C for a major key or to A for a
minor key).
If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select a temperament key.
Stretch Tuning
Off, Preset, User
(User: -50–0–+50)
This lets you specify the amount of “stretch tuning,” a tuning method specifically for pianos, in which
the high range is tuned slightly sharper, and the low range is tuned slightly flatter.
If you select “Preset,” a standard tuning curve created for the HP307 will be used.
If you select “User,” you’ll be able to edit the stretched
tuning yourself. Play the key whose pitch you want to
adjust, then use the [-] or [+] buttons to adjust its pitch.
