When keys are struck with the damper pedal pressed, their strings resonate along with other strings with vibration
frequencies close to their harmonic overtone components, and the open treble strings resonate with them as well.

String Resonance
When the G, C and E keys are struck (chord), the strings associated with these keys resonate with each other, and the open treble
strings resonate along with them
When the C key is struck (single tone), the C string and the open treble strings resonate with each other

system
achieving deep, rich resonance
with 88 keys
The uniquely rich sound produced
by an acoustic piano is a combination
of the sound generated by the striking
of keys and the associated string
resonance created by that original
key strike.
The Multi-Dimensional Morphing AiR
Sound Source, unlike ordinary digital
pianos, adopts a string resonance
system incorporating a stereo
resonance simulator for all 88 keys –
meaning that the resonance of all 88
keys is reproduced completely and
naturally. Furthermore, the resonance
created by playing a single tone,
according to the strength of touch,
is differentiated from that of playing a
chord. The result is authentic, natural,
acoustic-piano resonance.
Damper Resonance
*1
achieving
a more naturally beautiful
resonance than a pedal
The deep, beautiful resonance resulting
from the use of a damper pedal is
also reproduced naturally by a stereo
resonance simulator installed on all
88 keys, an approach that differs from
conventional simulated reproduction-
effect processing. The attention to
detail goes so far as to simulate the
resonance created by the lifting of the
dampers themselves when the pedal
is pressed.
A continuously variable system
*2
has
been adopted for the damper pedal,
meaning accurate reproduction of even
subtle changes in reverberation caused
by the delicate pressure exerted by
partial pedal operation. This enables
players to authentically employ pedal
operation to achieve graceful and
expressive performances.
