Voice description
GRAND PIANO1 
This sound was sampled from a concert grand piano. It uses
different samples depending on the strength of your playing
and produces smoother tonal changes. Even the tonal changes

releasing a key are reproduced. The sympathetic vibration
(string resonance) that occurs among the strings of an acoustic
piano has also been simulated. Suitable not only for classical
compositions but also for piano pieces of any style.
