be useful when you are playing along with another instrument or recording that may be
slightly above or below standard pitch.
Touch
The Touch Select control, sometimes referred to as Velocity Curve, lets you decide how
the pressure with which you hit the keys determines the volume at which the notes play.
This piano provides you with four different keyboard sensitivity options
Normal (Ab3 key) is the default setting, and is designed to be useful for most players with
an "average" touch (i.e.: people who play with an average amount of
force). When selecting this option
Low (F#3 key) is a sensitivity setting that generates lower velocity values for the same
force. This setting is useful for playing more quietly, even if you have a
"heavy" touch. When selecting this option
High (Bb3) is a sensitivity setting that generates higher velocity values for the same force.
This setting is useful for playing more loudly, even if you have a naturally "light"
touch. When selecting this option explained further below), the LED display
Fixed (F3 key) is a setting that effectively disables sensitivity, meaning the keyboard will
generate a fixed velocity value of 100 regardless of how hard or soft you
play. When selecting this option(explained further below), the LED display
shows:
