Sympathetic Resonance
On an acoustic piano, pressing the damper pedal
makes the notes you play resonate with other
strings, adding rich reverberations and thickness to
the sound. The RD-170 simulates this effect for the
piano Tones (and Variations). The effect, called Sym-
pathetic Resonance, is automatically added to these
Tones, but you can vary the depth in eight steps.

Transpose
Using the Transpose function, you can shift the pitch of the entire keyboard. This means that the RD-170 will sound
in another key than the one you are playing in. Transposition can be used for two purposes: (a) to play a song in an
“easy” key while sounding in a “difficult” one; (b) to accommodate the voice of a singer.
