6) SELECTING THE TOUCH SENSITIVITY

The TOUCH function allows different touch sensitivities for the keyboard to be selected, other than the standard

touch of an acoustic piano. The sensitivity can be changed to one of ﬁ ve different settings: Light, Light +, Heavy,

Heavy + or Off.

cLight +	: For players with a delicate touch. Requires less striking
		force to achieve a forte note.
dLight	: For those still developing finger strength. A louder
		volume is produced even when playing with a soft
		touch.
eNormal	:	Reproduces the standard touch sensitivity of an
		acoustic piano. This touch setting is selected when the
		LED indicator for the TOUCH button is off.
fHeavy	:	Perfect for those with strong ﬁ ngers. Requires a heavier

touch to produce a loud volume.

gHeavy +	:	Requires more striking force to achieve a loud volume.
hOff	:	A constant volume is produced regardless of how hard
		the keys are struck. This setting is suitable for sounds
		that have a ﬁ xed dynamic range such as Organ and
		Harpsichord.
