9 Smart Mode Virtual Technician
An experienced piano technician is essential to fully realise the potential of a ne acoustic piano. In addition to
meticulously tuning each note, the technician also performs numerous regulation and voicing adjustments that
allow the instrument to truly sing.
The CA49 digital piano’s Smart Mode Virtual Technician simulates these renements digitally, with ten preset
congurations that adjust various characteristics of the grand piano sound to match dierent musical styles.
