PLAYING VOICES — THE VOICE MODE

ADDITIONAL VOICE FUNCTIONS — VOICE SET AND TOUCH SENSITIVITY

Voice Set and Touch Sensitivity are two important voice-related parameters, and are found in the Utility section of the Function parameters.

When Voice Set (described in greater detail below) is set to on, you can automatically call up a variety of voice-related settings that best suit the selected voice.

Touch Sensitivity (also described below) gives you dynamic, expressive control over the voices by letting you set how the volume of the PortaTone responds to your playing strength.

Once the Touch Sensitivity parameter is set below, Touch response of the keyboard can be turned on or off by pressing the TOUCH button.
