Playing the Piano

Using the VRM Lite Function

The VRM (Virtual Resonance Modeling) Lite technology featured in this

instrument reproduces sophisticated string resonance faithfully using a virtual

musical instrument (physical modeling), and makes the sound more like that of

a real acoustic piano. Since instantaneous resonance is made at the moment

according to the state of the keyboard or pedal, you can vary the sound

expressively by changing the timing of your pressing the keys, and the timing

and depth of your pressing the pedal. This function affects only to the Piano

Voices (page 20).

To turn on/off the VRM Lite:

While holding [PIANO/VOICE], press the C#3 key to turn the function on or

the C3 key to turn the function off.

Changing the Touch Sensitivity

You can specify the Touch Sensitivity (how the sound responds to your playing

strength). This setting does not change the weight of the keyboard.

While holding down [PIANO/VOICE], press one of the C6 – D#6 keys.
