What Does "No Res" Mean In SV-2 Editor Software?

Post by echoes1313 »

I am trying to dial in an acoustic piano sound in my SV-2S which avoids some of the low-mid muddiness when using the built-in speakers (every other sound in the piano sounds amazing through the speakers). While browsing the Acoustic -> Grand piano options, I noticed some of the programs say "No Res" like "Italian No Res" or "Austrian No Res".

But I cannot find an explanation of this abbreviation anywhere. What is Res?

My guess is Res is Resonance, so No Res = No Resonance.

Resonance likely refers to String Resonance or Damper Resonance.

Interesting. That makes sense. I just wish they explicitly explained their abbreviations somewhere. And yes, I would love to know specifically what type of resonance it is referring to.

With that said, it does sound nice and the Italian No Res may be my new default piano tone.
