Touch and Touch Sensitivity

The Touch function gives you dynamic, expressive control over the voices, letting

you determine how loud or soft the sound is by your playing strength.

Turn the Touch function on or off as desired by pressing the [TOUCH] but-

ton.

Touch Sensitivity lets you set how the PSR-280 responds to your playing strength,

allowing you to customize this expressive function to suit your own playing style.

1Select the Touch Sensitivity control.

Press and hold the [TOUCH] button until the Touch Sensitivity setting and

name appears in the display.

2Change the value.

Use the numeric keypad or [+]/[-] buttons to set the desired setting: 1, 2, or 3

(explained below).

● Settings:

When Touch is turned off, a constant volume (corresponding to a velocity

value of 80) is produced.

1 (Soft) This results in limited touch response, and produces a relatively narrow

dynamic range, no matter how lightly or strongly you play the keys.

2 (Medium) This lets you play over a normal dynamic range (soft to loud).

3 (Hard) This is designed for playing very soft passages, giving you slightly more

detailed control in the soft volume range.
