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.
