Indicate	Description

Fixed

The sound plays at one set volume, regardless of the force used to play the keys.

Extra Light

Light

This setting produces the lightest keyboard touch.

You can achieve fortissimo (ff) play with a less forceful touch than “medium,” so the keyboard feels lighter. This setting makes it easy to play, even for children.

Medium

This sets the standard keyboard touch. You can play with the most natural touch. This is the closest to the touch of an acoustic piano.

Heavy		You have to finger the keyboard more forcefully than “medium” in order to play fortissimo (ff),
		so the keyboard touch feels heavier. Dynamic fingering adds even more feeling to what you
		play.

Extra Heavy

This setting produces the heaviest keyboard touch.

3.Press the [Key Touch] button to return to selection of tones.

If a setting other than “-M-(Medium)“ is selected, the [Key Touch] button will be lit.

You can use the Memory Backup function to store this setting in internal memory (p. 61).
