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 ﬁve different settings: Light 1, Light 2, Heavy 1,

Heavy 2 or Off.

cLight 1	: For those still developing ﬁ nger strength. A louder vol-
	ume is produced even when playing with a soft touch.
dLight 2	: For players with a delicate touch. Requires less striking
	force to achieve a forte note.
eNormal	: Reproduces the standard touch sensitivity of an acoustic
	piano. This touch setting is selected when the LED indi-
	cator for the TOUCH button is off.

fHeavy 1	: Perfect for those with strong ﬁ ngers. Requires a heavier
	touch to produce a loud volume.
gHeavy 2	: 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 fixed dynamic range such as Organ and
	Harpsichord.

The touch setting is global for all of the preset sounds. It is not possible to have individual touch settings for each preset sound.

LIGHT and HEAVY do not represent the physical weight of the keys. These are settings that affect the sensitivity of the keys, which determines the volume level in response to the key movement.
