Fantom G sympathetic resonance?

Please, can somebody show me how to get a decent sympathetic resonance effect on a piano sound? All I get is a dissonant metallic sound out of the effect. Is there a preset piano sound that uses this effect? Some roland rep might answer this maybe?

Oh man...was a bit drunk when I wrote that.
Now when that is fixed. Back to the question.

the sympathetic resonance should only kick in if used with a sustain pedal.

that said, it's a VERY subtle effect indeed... maybe just don't "try" to hear any difference. You should save a piano patch without the resonance effect, then edit the patch to have resonance, save it, and then compare the two.

I know that it should only kick in if used with a sustain pedal.
And I know it is a subtle effect. But in the fantom G it is a subtle metallic effect compared to for example Motif XS and M3.
Im wondering if anyone has implemented the effect in a succesfull way and is happy with the effect on a piano sound.

So nobody uses sympathetic resonance on the Fantom G pianos? Oh well. never mind then.

Hi guys,

I didn't know that certain effects only fire with the sustain pedal. Besides symp. res., what other effects only trigger with sustain?

I tried sympathetic res. via pedal, but couldn't hear the difference. Is it very subtle?

Effect No 76:SYMPATHETIC RESONANCE
On an acoustic piano,holding down the damper pedal allows other strings to resonate in symphaty with the tones you play,creating rich and spacious resonances.

This effect is really subtle. You should press the and hold the sustain pedal and play the high notes quicly. The Roland simulation is not so good, as it looks like a reverb.

On real piano is the harmony of strings when you play one note wile holding the sustain pedal. It is beautiful and gives life to the sound.

Another example is like when you play only the high E string in your steel accustic guitar the other strings will also emit a small harmonic sound. This harmonic sound is the sympathetic resonance.

Nik83,

In order to use the effect with the hold pedal, you need to go to the PFX screen and set PFX Control 1 (located on the left side of the screen) as follows:

Source: CC64(HOLD-1 )
Destination: Damper
Sens: +63

Make sure the "Damper knob" on the right side of the screen is set to zero. Now play while pressing and releasing the pedal. The pedal will now act as a on/off switch for this effect. The greater you press the pedal down, the more noticable should be the effect.
