Articulation Selector
On the top-right is a pull-down menu of the various articulations.  There are separate Instruments for each articulation as well. 

PEDAL VOL: Adjusts the volume of the piano's pedal mechanism.  The default is a delicate pedal action.  Click "Hard" for a more aggressive action. 
HAMMER VOL: Adjusts the volume of the key-hammer action. 
DYNAMIC RANGE: Lower levels increase the volume of softer samples. Higher levels increase the difference between soft and loud samples. 

EQ
Apply a 4-band EQ to each mix perspective separately.  Choose the mix perspective, then adjust the gain and frequency for each band.  The high and low bands are shelves.  Keep in mind - resetting the EQ on one mix perspective will not reset the EQ on the others.  Check other active mix perspectives to see if the EQ is active.  

MIXER
There are 5 mix perspectives: Full, Close A, Close B, Close C, and Room.  The Full mix is a combination of Close C and the Room.  Close A, B, and C are different microphone pairs, each offering a unique texture.  

Below each mix, you may advance or delay its sample playback +/- 100ms using a left-to-right slider.  Each mix allows for a left-right swap (LR), phase invert (Ø), a stereo widener (select either Haas or Mid/Side), left-right pan, reverb send (PRE- or POST-fader), and gain.  

Also included in the mixer is the REVERB type and return and an ATTACK setting to soften the attack of each note rendering a more cinematic sound.  Higher ATTACK values will reduce the volume of the sound. 

At the top of the mixer, there's a pull-down menu labeled 01 Full Mix.  Click on that to select between mix presets.  Create your own and save it as an .nki.
