Customizing the V-Piano Grand’s Sounds

The V-Piano Grand contains 30 different “tones.”

These sounds are produced by a virtual piano inside the V-Piano

Grand. Unlike the way in which conventional digital pianos create

sound by processing samples recorded from an acoustic piano, the

V-Piano Grand uses digital signal processing to model the numerous

elements that make up an acoustic piano, and combines these to

create the sound of the piano.

The 30 “tones” built into the V-Piano Grand are not simple variations

of the sound. Rather, they are forms of pianos constructed within

the V-Piano Grand. By customizing these tones you can construct

your very own piano.

The V-Piano Grand’s Parameters

Parameter

Value Description

Sound Lift

0–+100

This changes how the sound is produced when

you play the keyboard softly.

You can adjust this to make the sound suitable

for solo playing, or to prevent your sound from

being buried by the other instruments of your

band.

With higher settings, the sound will be relatively

loud even when you play lightly, preventing

your sound from being lost in the band.

Soft Pedal

Sense

-100–+100 This adjusts the sensitivity of the soft pedal.

String

Resonance

-100–+100

This adjusts the sympathetic vibration of the

strings that occurs when you play the keyboard.

This simulates not only the sympathetic

vibration that occurs when you play a single

note, but also the sympathetic vibration that

occurs in strings that are already sounding

when you play subsequent notes.

Increasing this value will produce a greater

effect.

Damper

Resonance

-100–+100

This adjusts the damper resonance of an

acoustic piano; i.e., the sound of other strings

sympathetically vibrating when you play other

keys with the damper pedal held down.

Increasing this value will increase the loudness

of the sympathetic vibration.

Soundboard

Resonance

-100–+100

This adjusts the sound of the soundboard

resonating in response to the notes you play.

Increasing this value will increase the

soundboard resonance.

Key Off

Resonance

-100–+100

This adjusts the amount of resonances such as

an acoustic piano’s key-off sound (the subtle

sound that occurs when you release a key).

Increasing this value will increase the amount of

resonance.

Unison Tune -100–+100

Normally, there are three strings for each key of

a piano (lower notes have one or two strings). A

beautiful resonance can be created by slightly

detuning the pitch of these strings.

Adjusting this parameter to a higher positive (+)

value will increase the pitch differences

between the 2nd string and the 1st and 3rd

strings.

When this value is 0, the three strings will be

detuned as they are on a typically tuned piano.

Adjusting this parameter to a lower negative (-)

value will decrease the pitch differences between

the 2nd string and the 1st and 3rd strings. With

the setting of -100, the pitch differences between

the three strings will be minimum.

This parameter lets you make detailed

adjustments to the pitch of the 1st string and 3rd

string (p. 46).

For tones of the “Vintage” piano

type (p. 31), this effect won’t be

applied to notes below the E1 key.

Stretch Tune ---

Most pianos are tuned so that the lower range is

flatter and the upper range is sharper than the

theoretically calculated pitches of equal

temperament. This makes chords sound more

beautiful. This method of tuning is distinctive to

pianos, and is called “Stretch Tuning.”

On the V-Piano Grand, the difference relative to

equal temperament can be adjusted

individually for each key. For details, refer to

“Editing the Stretch Tune” (p. 44).

Hammer

Hardness

-100–+100

This adjusts the hardness of the hammer felt.

Increasing this value will make the felt harder,

producing a bolder sound.

Decreasing this value will make the felt softer,

producing a softer tone.

Cross

Resonance

-100–+100

This adjusts the proportion of the various

parasitic vibrations that occur along with the

basic vibration of the strings, which produces

the basic sound of the piano.

Increasing this value will increase the

proportion of the parasitic vibration.

For the strings of the low notes in particular, this

will increase the metallic resonance of the high-

frequency range.

Lowering this value will decrease the proportion

of the parasitic vibration.

Decay Time -100–+100

This adjusts the time over which the volume

decays after reaching its peak.

Increasing this value will lengthen the time over

which the volume decays; reducing this value

will shorten the time.

Tone Color -7–+7

This adjusts the tone color of the strings.

Increasing this value will produce a sharper and

brighter sound as though the strings had

become thinner.

Decreasing this value will produce a milder and

warmer sound as though the strings had

become thicker.

Damping

Time

-100–+100

This adjusts the time from when the damper

touches the strings until the sound disappears;

i.e., the length of the release.

Increasing this value will lengthen the release,

and decreasing this value will shorten the

release.

Damper

Noise Level

-100–+100

This adjusts the damper noise of an acoustic

piano; i.e., the sound that is heard when you

press the damper pedal to release the strings.

Increasing this value will increase the sound

heard when the strings are released.
