3.3 Setting the key touch
Your HP-137 also provides a function that allows you
to adapt it to your playing style, or to ensure that even
your children can play loud notes.
The are three Key Touch levels:
1. Press and hold the volume button.
2. While still holding the volume button, press one of
the keys labeled "Key Touch" to select the desired lev-
el.
Note: Refer to "Functions assigned to the keyboard" on
page 16 for the exact location of the keys you need to press.
Note: Though "Light" may be a good settings for begin-
ners, they should also try to get used to playing with the
"Medium" setting.
Light: little strength is required to play at high vol-
umes.
Medium: the keyboard reacts normally (similar to an
acoustic piano).
Heavy: choose this only if you usually strike with too
much force and therefore play very bright/loud notes.
This is also a good setting for practising purposes.
Note: At power-on, the HP-137 selects the "Medium" set-
ting.
