Topboard
When playing an acoustic grand piano, the position of the instrument’s topboard (lid) aects both the volume and
‘openness’ of the tone produced. A fully open topboard allows sound waves to reect o the polished lid surface
and project into the room, while a closed lid has the opposite eect, resulting in a darker, more opaque tone.
The CS10 digital piano attempts to simulate these characteristics, with four dierent topboard positions.
* This Virtual Technician setting will aect acoustic piano sounds only.
