Touch

As with an acoustic piano, the ES110 digital piano produces a louder sound when the keys are struck with
force, and a softer sound when the keys are played gently. The volume and tonal character change in relation
to the strength and speed of playing – on a digital piano this system is referred to as 'touch sensitivity'.
The Touch setting allows the touch sensitivity of the keyboard to be conveniently changed. There are four
different preset touch settings available.
* This setting will affect all sounds.
