7. TOUCH, TRANSPOSE AND MENU FUNCTIONS

7.1TOUCH

Touch lets you select a different touch sensitivity for the keyboard from the standard touch of an acoustic piano. You can change the sensitivity to one of five different settings: Light, Light+, Heavy, Heavy+ and Off.

Light

For those still developing finger strength. A louder volume is

produced even when playing with a soft touch.

Light+

For players with a delicate touch. Requires less striking force

to achieve a forte note.

Heavy

Perfect for those with strong fingers. Requires a heavier touch

to produce a loud volume.

Heavy+

Requires more striking force to achieve a loud volume.

Off

A constant volume is produced regardless of how hard the

keys are struck. This setting is suitable for sounds that have a

fixed dynamic range such as Organ and Harpsichord.

To change from the standard touch, press the TOUCH button. The

LED indicator above the TOUCH button will be turned on to indicate that

the piano is now using a different touch setting.

To select the Touch type, press and hold the TOUCH button. The LCD

display will show the currently selected touch type.

selected.

Use the VALUE buttons to change the Touch type.

Press the TOUCH button again to get back to the standard touch

setting.

Touch selection is global for all the preset tones. You can not have an

individual setting for each tone.

◆ NOTE

LIGHT and HEAVY do not represent the physical weight of the keys. These

are settings that affect the sensitivity of the keys, which determines the

volume level in response to the key movement.

7.2 TRANSPOSE

The transpose function lets you raise or lower the piano’s key in half steps. This is especially useful when you have learned a song in one key and have to play it in another key. The transpose feature allows you to play the song in the original key, but hear it in another key.
