7) TOUCH CURVE
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 types: Light 2, Light 1, Heavy 1,
Heavy 2 or Off.
Light 2 | : For players with a delicate touch. Requires less striking |
| force to achieve a forte note. |
Light 1 | : For those still developing finger strength. A louder |
| volume is produced even when playing with a soft touch. |
Normal | : Reproduces the standard touch sensitivity of an acoustic |
| piano. This touch setting is selected when the LED |
| indicator for the TOUCH button is off. |
Heavy 1 | : Perfect for those with strong fingers. Requires a heavier |
| touch to produce a loud volume. |
Heavy 2 | : Requires more striking force to achieve a loud volume. |
Off | : 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. |

When the power is turned off, the touch settings will return to the default setting of ‘Normal’, however it is possible to use the Memory Backup function to store the preferred TOUCH mode. Please refer to the instructions on page 56 for more information.
Note: LIGHT and HEAVY do not represent the physical weight of the keys. The touch type affects the sensitivity of the keys, determining the volume level in response to the key movement.
