Damper Mode Meaning
Resonance/Halo The Damper pedal enables a multisample, normally used for the Piano
Resonance/Halo effect. If the pedal is pressed when the note is already
playing, the speed at which the multisample appears and disappears,
and the volume it can reach, depend on the Resonance/Halo param-
eters programmed below.
Hint: This Damper mode is much more realistic than the Normal mode,
but also ‘steals’ more notes from the overall polyphony, and is especially
suggested for solo piano playing.
Note: Half-pedaling, as well as Damper messages received via MIDI (as
Control Change #64), control the level of the Resonance/Halo effect.
Repedaling This mode acts as the Normal mode, but also enables the Damper pedal
effect when the pedal is pressed after the note has been released (Note
Off). In this case, the Damper effect starts from the current Release
level, and decays slowly.
Do not use Repedaling in Sounds used by Style tracks.
▪ Programming the Resonance/Halo
You can program the Resonance/Halo effect that is enabled by the Resonance/
Halo Damper Mode (see above). These parameters only affect the Resonance/
Halo that is enabled when pressing the Damper pedal down when a note is already
playing.
> Use the Attack Time parameter to set the time needed to the Resonance/
Halo to reach the maximum level after the Damper pedal has been pressed. Values
(0…99) are relative to the current Amplitude Envelope Attack value.
> Use the Release Time parameter to set the time needed to the Resonance/
Halo to fade out after the Damper pedal has been released. Values (0…99) are
relative to the current Amplitude Envelope Release value.
> Use the Volume Scaling parameter to set the volume of the Resonance/Halo
effect. Values (0…100%) are relative to the current level of the sound, as de-
termined by the sum of the Multisample Volume, Velocity value and the current
Amplitude Envelope value. 0% is no volume at all.
▪ Setting a key range without dampers
In an acoustic piano, the felt dampers can only dampen strings up to a certain
note. Starting from that note (usually G6), it is as if the Damper pedal was always
pressed down, and the dampers removed from the strings.
> When the Damper is in Normal mode (see above), use the No Note Off Range
> From Note parameter to choose the note (C♯-1…G9) starting from which notes
are never dampened.
This parameter has no effect on the Resonance/Halo mode.
