• If you turn the knob to the left, the number of hard velocity layers that are
used in the sound is reduced, that is, the sound becomes softer.
• If you turn the knob to the right, the number of soft velocity layers that are
used is reduced, that is, the sound becomes harder.
NOTE
The Tone control is independent from the influence that the velocity has on the
level of the piano. That means that you can always play the entire level range,
even with the softest or the hardest layer.
Dynamics – Curve
Allows you to specify how the input velocity is affecting the level of the piano.
The curve that is used by this control goes from linear to exponential/negative
exponential. The curve display on the right reflects the current setting.
Dynamics – Minimum Level
Specifies the minimum level for the note that is playing the lowest MIDI velocity.
This allows you to simulate the behavior of real pianos where you cannot play a
note without a minimum amount of pressure. If you set this control to the lowest
setting, you get a behavior that is more common with electronic instruments.
Sustain Resonance
Allows you to decide whether or not to use the additional sustain resonance layer
of the piano.
If this option is activated, the sustain resonance layers are played when the
sustain pedal is held and notes are played. You can adjust the level of the
resonance layer with the dial on the right.
NOTE
The piano also allows for repedaling, which means that the sustain resonances
will also be blended in when the sustain pedal is pressed again shortly after
notes have been played.
If you do not want to use the sustain resonance layers, deactivate this option to
save CPU power.
Note Off
Allows you to decide whether or not to use an additional note-off layer.
If this option is deactivated, the sound of the piano stops faster when a key is
released. If this option is activated, the release is slightly longer and smoother.
Polyphony
Determines the number of notes that can be played before notes are stolen.
Eagle
Eagle provides the sound of a classical German concert grand with 12 velocity layers and
adjustable sustain resonances. Its Tone control allows you to adapt the tonal range from very
