The 9000Pro “Functions”i

●INITIAL TOUCH

With this function, the 9000Pro senses how strongly or softly you play the keys, and uses that playing strength to affect the sound in various ways, depending on the selected voice. This allows you to play with greater expressiveness and add effects with your playing technique.
