1. SELECTING A TOUCH TYPE

Your CN piano lets you select from four different “Touch” types as follows:

NORMAL:	The standard setting which produces volume in direct proportion to your force on
	the keys. This setting is the most similar to an acoustic piano. The CN piano
	automatically selects this Touch Type when the power is turned on.
LIGHT:	For those still developing finger strength, such as a child, a louder sound is produced
	even when the piano is played with a soft touch.
HEAVY:	Perfect for those with strong fingers or for practicing with a hard touch.

CONSTANT: For tone colors like organ or harpsichord, and for playing some contemporary music with the piano sound, a constant loud sound is produced regardless of your force on the keys.
