The dynamic range refers to the difference in volume between the loudest possible note, and the softest possible note. When the Dynamic Range knob is at 50%, you'll experience the natural dynamic range of the sampled Yamaha CFX concert grand piano. Turn the Dynamic Range knob above 50% to make the softest notes even softer, and turn the Dynamic Range knob below 50% to make the softest notes louder. The dynamic range setting can have a large influence on the expressive characteristics of the piano.
Example: One way to use the dynamic range is to decrease it, instead of processing your sound with a compressor. When you decrease the dynamic range, something similar to compression happens, in that the sound is contained to a tighter range, but unlike compressors, a lower dynamic range does not process away the natural harmonic texture and character of the piano.
