Indicate		Description
	Fixed	The sound plays at one set volume, regardless of the force used to
		play the keys.
	Light	A light keyboard touch is selected. You can achieve fortissimo (ff)
		play with a less forceful touch than usual, 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	Here, a heavy keyboard touch is selected. You have to finger the
		keyboard more forcefully than usual in order to play fortissimo
		(ff), so the keyboard touch feels heavier. Dynamic fingering adds
		even more feeling to what you play.
