Tone	Touch	Descriptions
button	Sensitivity
Piano	Fixed	Notes are sounded at an
		unchanging volume level,
		regardless of how lightly
		or forcefully you finger
		the keyboard.
E.Piano	Light	Fortissimo (ff) can be ob-
		tained with weaker touch
		than usual, so, you will
		feel that the keyboard is
		lighter. This setting makes
		it easy to play, even for
		children.
Harpsi-	Medium	This is the most natural
chord		touch for the keyboard.
		This is the closest to the
		touch of an acoustic piano.
Organ	Heavy	Fortissimo (ff) can be ob-
		tained only with forceful
		playing, so you will feel
		that the keyboard is heavi-
		er. Dynamic fingering
		adds even more feeling to
		what you play.
