Voice Settings VRM (Virtual Resonance Modeling) — Piano voices only. Simulates natural nuance of strings, damper, and body resonance. Can be On or Off.

Damper Resonance: 10-point adjustment (when VRM is On). Natural damper-string interaction. Damper noise can be On/Off.
String Resonance: 10-point adjustment (when VRM is On). Effect applied when notes are pressed.
Duplex Scale Resonance: 10-point adjustment of aliquots for sympathetic vibrations.
Body Resonance: 10-point adjustment. Simulates sound contribution of rim, soundboard, beams, and case.
Grand Expression Modeling Two modes: Static or Dynamic (default).
  • Dynamic: extreme nuance in touch response—volume reacts to pressure on each note.
  • Static: response fixed in increments.
Only available for CFX Grand and Bösendorfer voices.
Keyboard Transpose Shift pitch ±12 semitones to play in a different key without transposing notation.
Example: set to +6, pressing Middle C produces the G above Middle C.
Half Pedal Point Sustain pedal mimics acoustic behavior with variable sustain (not just On/Off).
Can lower sustain by 2 points or raise by 4 points.
Touch Sensitivity Adjustable response levels:
• -2 (Soft) – high volume even with light playing
• -1 (Soft/Medium) – high volume with moderate playing
• 0 (Medium) – standard touch sensitivity
• +1 (Medium/Hard) – requires moderately strong playing for high volume
• +2 (Hard) – requires strong playing for high volume
• OFF (Fixed) – same volume regardless of touch (default for Harpsichords)
Master Tune Fine-tune A above Middle C (A440) from 414.8 Hz to 466.8 Hz in 0.2 Hz increments.
All other 87 notes adjust accordingly.
Allows accurate pitch matching with other instruments, recordings, or acoustic piano when layering through TA3/Silent Piano.
Scale TypeSelectable temperament options for alternate tuning systems.
