Display	Explanation
Fixed	Notes sound at an unchanging volume level,
	regardless of how lightly or forcefully you
	play the keyboard.
	This sets the keyboard to a light touch. You
Light	can achieve fortissimo (ff) play with a less
	forceful touch than usual, so the keyboard
	feels lighter. This setting makes it easier for
	children, whose hands have less strength.
	This sets the keyboard to the standard touch.
Medium	You can play with the most natural touch.
	This setting is closest to the response of an
	acoustic piano.
	This sets the keyboard to a heavy touch. You
	have to play the keyboard more forcefully
Heavy	than usual in order to play fortissimo (ff), so
	the keyboard touch feels heavier. This set-
	ting allows you to add more expression
	when playing dynamically.

Touch any of the icons <Fixed>, <Light>, <Medium>, or <Heavy>, to set the key touch for the keyboard.

To make fine adjustments, touch the slider in the screen.

Move the slider to the right to add resistance, and to the right to make the key touch lighter.
