Voices – Playing the Keyboard –

Playing Realistic Resonance-enhanced Piano Sounds (VRM Voices)
Simply by selecting a VRM Voice, you can enjoy the VRM effect (see below). An icon [VRM] is shown at the
left side of the Voice name of a VRM Voice on the Voice Selection display.
The default setting of the VRM effect is on. You can turn it on or off, and adjust the depth via [Menu]
[Voice Setting] [Piano] 1/2 page. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).
Reproducing tonal variations that respond to subtle changes in touch
(Grand Expression Modeling)
When the Voice of “CFX Concert Grand” or “Bösendorfer Grand” is selected, the Grand Expression
Modeling effect is automatically added, and it faithfully reflects nuances of your playing touch to tonal
variations, just as on a real grand piano.
VRM (Virtual Resonance Modeling)
On an actual acoustic piano, if you press the damper pedal and play a key, not only does the string of the
pressed key vibrate, it also causes other strings and the soundboard to vibrate, with each influencing the rest,
creating a rich and brilliant resonance that sustains and expands. The VRM (Virtual Resonance Modeling)
technology featured in this instrument reproduces the complicated interaction between both string and
soundboard resonance, and make the sound more like that of a real acoustic piano. Since resonance
instantaneously occurs depending on the action of the keys and pedal, you can expressively vary the sound
by changing the timing of your pressing the keys, and the timing and depth of your pressing the pedal.
Grand Expression Modeling
On an actual acoustic piano, subtle changes in the sound can be produced by changing your playing touch
from when you press a key to when you release it. For example, when you press a key all the way to its
bottom, the key hits the keybed underneath and the noise reaches the strings, changing the sound slightly.
Furthermore, the tone when the damper is lowered onto strings to mute the sound is changed by how quickly
you release the key. Grand Expression Modeling technology recreates these subtle changes in the sound that
respond to your touch. This allows you to add accents by playing strongly or add resonance by playing softly
to produce superbly expressive sound. A crisp tone can be heard when playing staccato as well as a lingering
sound produced when releasing the keys slowly.
