Making Detailed Settings for the ONE TOUCH Tones
Reproduces the way the brightness of a grand piano’s sound is
affected by how much the piano’s lid is opened.
This changes the sound of the instrument in a manner similar to that
accomplished in recordings of miked acoustic instruments like
pianos, where the sound is changed by using mics with different
characteristics and changing the mic placement. This function is a
virtual reproduction of these phenomena.
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 is called “String Resonance.”
This sets the midrange equalization.
You can make advanced settings for the touch used for the keys.
This setting is switched automatically according to the value of
Key Touch Offset, which follows.
Changing this setting also changes the Key Touch setting in Edit
Mode (p. 83).
Opening/Closing the Piano Lid
(Lid)
Parameter
Value Description
Lid
1–6 The lid is opened more as the
value is increased, creating a
brighter sound.
Changing the Characteristics of the
Mic (Mic Type/Distance)
Parameter
Value Description
Mic Type
OFF No microphone is used.
CONDENSER This is a simulation of a small
condenser mic used for musical
instruments. The mic features a
very bright high end.
DYNAMIC This simulates the type of
dynamic mic used widely for
vocals and instruments.
Distance 0–10 The distance to the microphone
decreases as the value is raised,
and the distance increases as the
value is lowered.
Adjusting the Resonant Sounds
When the Keys are Pressed
(String Resonance)
Parameter Value Description
String Resonance
OFF, 1–5 Increasing the value will
increase the amount of effect.
Making the Midrange Equalizer
Settings (EQ SW/EQ Gain/EQ
Frequency/EQ Q)
Parameter Value Description
EQ SW ON, OFF This determines whether the
following EQ Gain, EQ Frequency,
and EQ Q settings are enabled
(ON), or not (OFF).
EQ Gain -12.0–+12.0 dB Change the amount of
equalization (gain).
EQ
Frequency
100, 125, 160,
200, 250, 315,
400, 500, 630,
800, 1000, 1250,
1600, 2000,
2500, 3150,
4000Hz
Set Frequency Point. Changes the
level of the selected frequency
range, with frequency selected
here at the center.
EQ Q 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0,
8.0
Adjusts the “Q” (bandwidth) of
equalization. The higher the value,
the narrower the range of
frequencies that are affected.
Changing the Key Touch
(Key Touch)
Parameter
Value Description
Key Touch
SUPER
LIGHT
An even lighter setting than
LIGHT.
LIGHT This sets the keyboard to a light
touch. You can achieve fortissimo
(ff) play with a less forceful touch
than usual, so the keyboard feels
lighter. This setting makes it easy
to play, even for children.
MEDIUM This sets the keyboard to the
standard touch. You can play with
the most natural touch. This is the
closest to the touch of an acoustic
piano.
HEAVY This sets the keyboard to a heavy
touch. You have to finger the
keyboard more forcefully than
usual in order to play fortissimo
(ff), so the keyboard touch feels
heavier. Dynamic fingering adds
even more feeling to what you
play.
SUPER
HEAVY
An even heavier setting than
HEAVY.
