Alicia's Key Manual English

Sympathetic Resonance Rules 

Setting these rules allows you to determine how much Sympathetic Resonance is experienced 

when playing the piano. You can set the number of rules for Pedal Up and Pedal Down mode 

separately. Click the button to enable or disable Sympathetic Resonance Rules. In Pedal Down 

mode it is generally better to use fewer rules for performance reasons.

! 

Note: More rules means more sympathetic resonance harmonics but also a higher voice 

count which could negatively affect performance.

The Resonance tab

 

•

Volume: Adjusts the overall volume of resonance sounds.

 

•

Pedal Up: Controls the number of different resonance intervals for keys that are physi-

cally pressed, rather than sustained using the pedal. The higher the number, the higher 

the voice count and CPU usage.

 

•

Pedal Down: Controls the number of different resonance intervals for keys that are not 

physically pressed, but rather sustained using the pedal. The higher the number, the 

higher the voice count and CPU usage.

 

•

Voices: Determines the maximum number of voices. This should be lowered if you expe-

rience performance problems.
