Yamaha PSR-292 Touch and Touch Sensitivity

Playing Voices

30

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] button.

Touch Sensitivity lets you set how the PSR-292 responds to your playing strength,

allowing you to customize the keyboard to suit your own playing style.

The default Touch Sensitivity is 2 (Medium).

Sensitivity can be set in the Function mode (page 75).

● 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.
