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
produced by the damper pedal and the subtle sounds of
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.
VARIATION 

ballads.

Mellow piano sound with gradual attack. Good for quiet and
slow music.
