Adjusting the Resonant Sounds
when the Keys are Pressed
(String Resonance)
When the keys are pressed on an acoustic piano, the strings for keys
that are already pressed also vibrate sympathetically. The function
used to reproduce this resonance is called “String Resonance.”
You can adjust the depth of the reverb (p. 48) and chorus (p. 48).
Refer to “Making the Settings” (p. 80) for instructions.

Tuning to Other Instruments’ Pitches
(Master Tuning)
In situations such as when playing ensemble with other instruments,
you can tune the HPi-6’s standard pitch to the pitch of another
instrument. The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the
note that’s played when you finger the middle A key.
■
Setting the Tuning Curve
(Stretch Tuning)
Pianos are generally tuned so that the low range is flatter and the
high range is sharper than equal tempered pitches. This method of
tuning is unique to the piano, and is known as “Stretched Tuning.”
