All Dench Digital Pianos now comes equipped with a path-breaking technology called TRUE TIMBRE MODELING® which is hailed as the new benchmark for digital sound representation and synthesis. Let’s talk in short about how this works.
SAMPLING:
So far, the highest challenge engineers faced about a digital piano is to reproduce two things truthfully: the sound (tone) and the feel (touch) of an acoustic piano. Usually, acoustic piano samples are recorded at multiple dynamic (volume) levels so that they sound natural to the energy with you play the digital piano key. But to record and store the entire acoustic piano keys this way would require huge internal storage capacities in gigabytes, which is kind of difficult to incorporate on digital pianos.
MODELING:
To overcome this issue, earlier digital pianos employed a technique called ‘Modeling’. Here, only a few acoustic piano keys at fewer volume stages are recorded, but are processed in real-time to respond to the notes & key stroke pressure on your digital keyboard. This method takes up less storage space, but the sound is less than desirable because of some unpleasant alterations of the true piano sound (timbre). Some of the notes at some volume levels or transpose levels will sound artificial and will not sound like a true piano at all.
TRUE TIMBRE MODELING®
Dench’s proprietary TRUE TIMBRE MODELING® employs digital technology for real-time modeling while maintaining the true timbre of the original piano sound sample. So, every note, whether played loud or soft would sound convincingly realistic. Even notes which are transposed to -/+5 semitones will retain the true timbre of an original piano.
In short, Dench will always sound true and natural, no matter what you play!
