Touch Sensitivity - Yamaha S90 Owner's Manual

Different types of keyboard sensitivity can be selected to match different playing styles and preferences.
1 Press the [UTILITY] button to enter the Utility mode.
2 Press the [F1]
[SF2] buttons to select the KBD screen.
3 Use the [ EF] buttons to select the Vel Curve, then press the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons to select
the desired setting (see below).
4 Press the [EXIT] button to exit from the Utility mode.
Never attempt to turn off the power while data is being written to Flash ROM (while an "Executing..." or "Please keep power on"
message is shown). Turning the power off in this state results in loss of all user data and may cause the system to freeze (due to
corruption of data in the Flash ROM).
norm (Normal)
The velocity is in proportion to
playing strength (how hard you
play the keyboard).
soft
This curve provides increased
response, especially for lower
velocities. In other words, playing
softly results in higher response
than the "norm" curve. Use this
curve if you want greater control
in the low velocity range.
hard
This curve effectively lessens the
overall response compared to the
"norm" curve. Use this curve if
you tend to play strongly and want
the sound change to be less
sensitive.

wide
This setting provides opposite
response curves for lower and
higher velocities. It widens the
apparent dynamic range of the
controller, producing less sound
change in the softer range and
more change in the higher range.
fixed
This setting produces the same
amount of sound change (set in
Fixed Velocity), no matter what
your playing strength. For
example, you can use this to
emulate the key response of
conventional organs, or ensure
that the sound change is absolutely
uniform, no matter how hard or
softly you play.
