Playing with a Reverb Effect Follow the procedure below to apply reverb to the digital piano sound. 1 A piano sounds differently depending on the size of the room in which it is played. These room reverberations are referred to as “reverb” in this manual. The Disklavier GranTouch’s reverb effects can simulate chamber and hall acoustics. For example, you can add spaciousness to the piano sound to simulate the sound of a piano playing in a concert hall. Press [FUNC.]. FUNC. The FUNC.

Adjusting the Playback Volume a You can adjust volume with the Control Unit or with the remote control as descr ibed below. Since all piano songs are recorded at the maximum volume level of 0, volume can be decreased down to –10, the softest volume at which the piano can play. For Ensemble songs, the volume of the digital piano and internal XG tone generator are adjusted simultaneously, so it is a good idea to first balance the volume of the piano and XG tone generator.
Balancing the Ensemble Volume (TG Master Balance) TG Master balance can adjust the volume from 0 to 127 and OFF. (0: mutes the sound of the internal XG tone generator; OFF: does not link with the internal XG tone generator.) This setting is shown in the display on the right of the bar graph.
