Touch Sensitivity – [TOUCH]

[TOUCH]

You can select four different types of keyboard touch sensitivity — HARD, MEDIUM,

SOFT or FIXED — to match different playing styles and preferences.

HARD: Requires that the keys be played quite hard to produce maximum loud-

ness.

MEDIUM: Produces a fairly “standard” keyboard response.

SOFT: Allows maximum loudness to be produced with relatively light key pres-

sure.

FIXED: All notes are produced at the same volume no matter how hard the key-

board is played. (No indicators are lit.) The ﬁxed volume can be changed.

To select a touch sensitivity type press the [TOUCH] button a

few times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type

lights (the indicators light in sequence each time the [TOUCH]

button is pressed). No indicator is lit when “FIXED” is

selected.

Changing the volume when FIXED is selected

When you select FIXED, you can set the volume for notes

played in FIXED by using the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons

while you hold the [TOUCH] button. The current volume

level appears on the display. The volume range is from 1

(minimum volume) through 127 (maximum volume). The

default setting is 64.

[–/NO] [+/YES] buttons [TOUCH] button

This setting does not change the

weight of the keyboard.

Default setting = MEDIUM

The touch sensitivity type will

become the common setting for

all voices. However, the touch

sensitivity settings may have little

or no effect with certain voices

that are not normally responsive

to keyboard dynamics. (Refer to

the “Preset Voice List” on

page 53.)
