Changing the Touch Sensitivity Modulation and Transpose — Keyboard/Panel

Keyboard Touch/Modulation Wheel

The Touch feature lets you control the volume of the voices by your playing strength. These settings allow you to customize the keyboard’s touch response (sensitivity) to your personal playing preferences. You can also set whether the Modulation wheel is effective or not — for each individual keyboard part.

Selects the desired parameter: Keyboard Touch, Modulation Wheel (PSR-2000) or Transpose Assign.

• Selectively Transposing Keyboard/Song

These settings can be used to match both the song and your keyboard performance to a certain key. For example, let’s say you wish to play and sing along with a certain recorded song. The song data is in F, but you feel most comfortable singing in D, and you are accustomed to playing the keyboard part in C. To match up the keys, keep the Master Transpose setting at “0,” set the Keyboard Transpose to “2,” and set Song Transpose to “-3.” This brings the keyboard part up in pitch and the song data down to your comfortable singing key.
