At the same time the string can vibrate along its axis longitudinal motion The hammer excites the string mainly along its transverse axis but for large amplitudes some energy is transferred from the transverse to the longitudinal motion This type of vibration produces special components phantom partials that give a metallic character to the sound The Longitudinal Vibration effect can be better heard by playing fortissimo on lower notes up to the 3rd octave EN 6 PHYSISC BbB PIANO User Manual Sound generation parameters STRING RESONANCE Range 50 0 50 NRPN MSB 0 NRPN LSB 9 Data Entry MSB Range 14 64 114 Allows you to control the amount of resonance of strings at their fundamental or overtone frequencies when other strings are sounded When one or more notes are played on a piano the vibration is transmitted to all piano parts including the strings that are not played Such vibration causes such passive and un damped strings to slightly vibrate because of a physical phenomena known as sympathetic resonance This natural effect replicates exactly what happens inside an acoustic piano giving beauty and realism to the generated sound To evaluate the parameter s effects play a chord on the lower octaves pianissimo and while keeping the chord pressed play some of the highest notes The highest the parameter value the stronger is the resonance of the lower strings when palying high pitched notes DAMPER NOISE
