Types

Meaning

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Medium

Normal setting, providing the most natural touch, closest to that of an

 

 

acoustic piano.

 

Heavy

With this setting, to play fortissimo the keys must be played much

 

 

more strongly than normally, as if the keys had become heavier. Adds

 

 

even more emotion when you play with lots of dynamics. This is

 

 

useful for players who use a strong touch and for drill work.

 

Light

With this setting, fortissimo can be produced using much less force

 

 

than normal, thus making the keys seem lighter. This setting makes it

 

 

easy to play, even for children.
