Most/least useful adjustments on Virtual Technician/Virtual Piano Artisan?

Woodkeys

My new Kawai CA701 has 20 types of software adjustment via the Virtual Piano Artisan facility. As as newcomer to this stuff, I’m not sure which of those 20 are the most valuable to concentrate on in terms of trying optimising the instrument for one’s preferences.

Some of them seem to border on the self-indulgent or the obsessive, while others appear pretty sensible.

I’d be most grateful to hear from any folks who own CA series instruments etc. that have either the Virtual Technician or Artisan facility about which things are worth putting the time into exploring the available adjustments in order to optimise the playing experience… and which I can essentially not bother with.

Any hints about the sorts of settings that seem best on those more useful ones and why they are best would be much appreciated.

Hello,

Woodkeys ,

This may get you started:

At the end of the day, all of the settings are "to taste".

Cheers and happy familiarizing,

Thanks a lot HZ,

looks like it may be an easy way to get the feel of what's possible.

Cheers

A great start HZ… he takes a very no nonsense approach and concentrates on just a small subset of the options available to alter.

thanks - it will get me thinking about this in a sensible way without wasting time on all the stuff that’s less important.

Is it possible to boost just the bass octaves using the Virtual Piano Artisan?

One of the pianists who tried out the CA701 before I bought it was very happy with the instrument overall but would prefer there to be a little more “oomph” in the bass.

So, is there an easy way to do this using the VPA software?
