Indicate	Description
OFF	The sound plays at one set volume, regardless of the force
(Fixed)	used to play the keys.
	A light keyboard touch is selected. You can achieve fortis-
-L-	simo (ff) play with a less forceful touch than usual, so the
(Light)	keyboard feels lighter. This setting makes it easy to play,
	even for children.
	This sets the standard keyboard touch. You can play with
	the most natural touch. This is the closest to the touch of
-N-(Normal)	an acoustic piano.
	Here, a heavy keyboard touch is selected. You have to fin-
-H-	ger the keyboard more forcefully than usual in order to
	play fortissimo (ff), so the keyboard touch feels heavier.

	Dynamic fingering adds even more feeling to what you
	play.

The indicators return to their previous state.
