The sensitivity of the keyboard's Touch Response
can be adjusted in three steps (1–3). The higher the
number, the greater the volume variation produced
by the variation in how hard you play the keys—
i.e., the keyboard becomes more "sensitive."
1
Press and hold the [TOUCH] button for
longer than a second.
2
Use the dial to select a Touch Sensitiv-
ity setting between 1 and 3. Higher val-
ues produce greater (easier) volume
variation in response to keyboard
dynamics—i.e., greater sensitivity.
