An experienced piano technician is essential to fully realise the potential of an acoustic piano. As well as meticulously 

tuning each note, the technician performs regulation and voicing adjustments that allow a fi ne instrument to truly 

sing.

Virtual Technician functions simulate such refi nements digitally. The Voicing feature shapes tonal characteristics, 

while the Touch function allows the performer to select the level of touch sensitivity suitable for his/her playing 

style.

The String Resonance feature causes held notes to resonate ‘sympathetically’ with other notes of the same harmonic 

series, while Damper Resonance recreates a similar phenomenon, whereby sympathetic and adjacent notes 

resonate while the damper pedal is depressed. Finally, the Key Off Effect recreates the sound of bass hammers 

returning to their strings following a rapid note release.
