Touch Sensitivity – [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.

You can adjust the volume.

To select a touch sensitivity type press the [TOUCH] button a few times until the indica-

tor 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 mode by using the [–/NO] and [+/YES] but-

tons while you hold the [TOUCH] button. The current vol-

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

through 127. The default setting is 64.

TIP

This setting does not change

the weight of the keyboard.

TIP

Normal setting = MEDIUM

TIP

The touch sensitivity type will

become the common setting for

all voices. However, the touch

sensitivity settings may have lit-

tle or no effect with certain

voices that are not normally

responsive to keyboard dynam-

ics. (Refer to the “Preset Voice

List” on page 56.)
