13) TOUCH

The TOUCH function allows different touch sensitivities for the keyboard to be selected, other than the standard
touch of an acoustic piano. The sensitivity can be changed to one of fi ve different settings: Light, Light +, Heavy,
Heavy + or Off.
Light + : For players with a delicate touch. Requires less striking
force to achieve a forte note.
Light : For those still developing finger strength. A louder
volume is produced even when playing with a soft
touch.
Normal : Reproduces the standard touch sensitivity of an acoustic
piano.
Heavy : Perfect for those with strong fi ngers. Requires a heavier
touch to produce a loud volume.
Heavy + : Requires more striking force to achieve a loud volume.
Off : A constant volume is produced regardless of how hard
the keys are struck. This setting is suitable for sounds
that have a fi xed dynamic range such as Organ and
Harpsichord.
