Items marked with an asterisk are backed up (page 17). Item Reverb Type Description You can select a reverb type. The optimal reverb type is automatically set when a Voice is selected. See page 11 for the default settings for each Voice. Default setting Optimum setting for each Voice Reverb Depth Damper Resonance Touch Sensitivity* You can adjust the reverb depth. Setting range: 0 to 10 Optimum setting for each Voice When turned on, this produces a resonance effect that simulates the special resonance of the soundboard and strings of an acoustic piano when its damper pedal is pressed. See page 11 for a list of Voices to which this effect is applied. To use the pedal when you play, you must connect an appropriate pedal (sold separately; see page 23). When you press the connected pedal, the sound will lengthen and reverberate (SUSTAIN effect); and Damper Resonance is also applied if that effect is on. You can specify the degree of touch sensitivity (how the sound responds to your playing strength). Touch Sensitivity is not applied to the Organ Principal, Organ Tutti, Jazz Organ, Harpsichord 8′, and Harpsichord 8′+4′ Voices. On Medium Octave Shift You can shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down 0 in octave steps. Setting range: -3 to +3 When in Dual mode, you can set this function in addition to the Octave Shift for Voices 1 and 2 (page 13).

Damper Resonance
When turned on, this produces a resonance effect that
simulates the special resonance of the soundboard and
strings of an acoustic piano when its damper pedal is
pressed.
See page 11 for a list of Voices to which this
effect is applied. To use the pedal when you play,
you must connect an appropriate pedal (sold
separately; see page 23). When you press the
connected pedal, the sound will lengthen and
