Local
This parameter establishes ( On ) or breaks ( Off ) the internal link between the MIDI‐generating
components ( keyboard and physical controllers ) and the internal sound module. When you
want to be able to play the SP2 from its own keyboard, set Local Control to On. When the SP2 is
receiving MIDI from an external source, set Local Control to Off. Otherwise, MIDI looping
( notes get doubled ) might occur. This is particularly important when you're using the SP2 with
a sequencer.
[+/Yes] and [‐/No] buttons will turn on and off Local control. The term "Local" means
connection between the internal sound generator and the triggering devices such as the
keyboard part of your SP2. Generally, On is appropriate for standalone use and Off is used with
a computer sequencer or external MIDI processor.
Touch
This parameter determines how sensitively the keyboard responses to your playing. By default,
a value of Linear is the standard, unaltered level of keyboard sensitivity. Values of Light1 ‐
Light3 are for players who prefer a light touch. You can play more lightly and still get the same
attack‐velocity values with these settings. The sensitivity level increases as the numeric number
suggests.
Values of Hard1 ‐ Hard3 are for players who have a heavier touch. You should play harder to
get the same attack‐velocity values. Also, the numeric number suggests the sensitivity level.
Linear is less sensitive than Light1 and more sensitive than Hard1.
With [+/Yes] and [‐/No] button, you can select one of those seven types of sensitivity level of
your SP2's keyboard like < Figure 5‐4 >.
