Sounds & voices

Adjust the piano’s reverb and volume — for violin, cello and clarinet, you can also choose a different sound source.

1

Adjust the piano sound

Klavissimo uses the Salamander grand — adjust reverb and volume in the Piano section. These controls apply to all piano parts played by the app, including play-through and four-hand pieces. They do not change your connected instrument’s own sound.

2

Open "Sound" in the player ⚙

Open "Sound" in the player ⚙ — "Sound per voice" contains the piano and the ensemble voices violin, cello and clarinet. The piano section is also available for solo pieces.

3

Switch the sound per voice

Violin, cello and clarinet each have a dropdown with several built-in sound sources — exactly which ones depends on the voice. "Own file…" sits at the bottom of the list, for a SoundFont of your own. The piano keeps its built-in sound.

4

Volume and reverb per voice

Under "Reverb", the slider runs from "dry" through "subtle" and "small hall" to "concert hall"; under "Volume", from 0 to 100 %. The piano defaults to 50 % reverb and 100 % volume. Its reverb goes one step further, up to "cathedral"; above 100 % it blends smoothly into a longer reverb tail. At 0 % volume its app sound is muted; the other instruments stay unchanged. The reverb labels describe the amount of reverb, not different room recordings.

5

A short reload on the first note

When you switch the sound or restart a piece, the very first note of a voice can briefly sound simpler while the actual SoundFont loads in the background.

Good to know:

"Sound never affects scoring" — that's stated in the panel itself. Klavissimo still only listens to which note you play and when, regardless of how your accompanying voices sound.

Your data:

Your choice applies per profile and, like all settings, stays on this device — unless you've set up device sync (Plus): then it travels along to your other paired devices. Under /einstellungen → Practice, "Sound & voices" shows at a glance how many sounds of your own you have set.
