Convenient Functions

Changing the Damper
Pedal’s Resonance

On acoustic pianos, when the damper pedal is depressed,

additional strings are released to resonate with the sound of

the keys that have been played, adding richness and breadth

to the sound. The damper pedal on the pt-2700 recreates this

resonance when depressed. This resonance is called

“Sympathetic Resonance.”

Eight levels of resonance are available.

This is set to “4” when the power is turned on.

Holding down the [REVERB] and
[CHORUS] buttons, press any TONE
button.

■ Checking the Resonance level

Press and hold the [REVERB] and
[CHORUS] buttons.

The TONE button indicators will blink to indicate the

selected depth.

NOTE

This resonance works only with the piano tones.

Playing Songs Using
Tunings from Classical Music

Your instrument also allows you to perform using the
tunings that were in use at the time that classical music (such
as Baroque) was composed. Most modern songs are
composed based on assumption that equal-tempered tuning,
the tuning in use almost universally today, will be used
when performing. However, in the age of classical music
there were a variety of different tunings in existence. Try
performing using tunings from those olden times so you can
hear what the chords in certain pieces sounded like
originally.

“Equal temperament” is placed in effect each time the
keyboard’s power is turned on.
