Inside the instrument are many parameters that allow you to finely adjust the sound elements of the piano, much in the same way that an experienced piano technician fine-tunes an acoustic piano for a particular artist or musical style. These parameters include pitch, volume, tonal characteristics, the extent to which the virtual “lid” is open, states of resonance from the strings and cabinet, and so on. With the Piano Designer app, you can easily control these many elements from the graphical touchscreen on your mobile device. In addition, the app includes many ready-to-play settings, allowing you to enjoy custom sounds created by world-class piano technicians. - Parameters related to lid position, strings, and hammers are listed at a glance, and can be edited and transferred to the piano easily. - Enjoy playing your Roland piano with sounds fine-tuned by famous piano technicians. - Graphically adjust the pitch, level, and tonal character independently for each of the piano’s 88 notes.

The latest system program and setup instructions can be found at the support pages at www.roland.com. * You can connect your iPad/iPhone to your piano via following connecting ways. : ・Connection via Bluetooth.

Adjust various sound, touch, and tuning characteristics of your Kawai digital piano, as if you were a professional concert tuner. The knowledge and skill of an experienced piano technician is essential to realise the full potential of a fine acoustic piano. In addition to meticulously tuning each note, the technician also performs numerous regulation and voicing adjustments that allow the instrument to truly sing. The Virtual Technician feature of Kawai digital pianos simulates these refinements digitally, allowing musicians to shape various aspects of the piano’s character to suit their personal preferences. Perform touch weight and voicing adjustments, regulate subtle hammer and key release noises, and fine-tune string, lid, and damper resonances – all in real-time, from the comfort of an intuitive iPad app. ・Attractive interface created by Kawai’s award-winning design group, following the same traditional philosophies expressed in our acoustic and digital pianos. ・Learn to adjust various acoustic piano characteristics through the app’s elegant graphical interface and detailed explanations. ・Use the app’s Preview function to hear a sample passage that demonstrates the current setting with the instrument’s piano sound.
