Explanation
An even lighter setting than LIGHT.
Sets the keyboard to a light touch. You can
achieve fortissimo (ff ) play with a less forceful
touch than MEDIUM, so the keyboard feels
lighter. This setting makes it easy to play, even
for children.
Sets the keyboard to the standard touch. You
can play with the most natural touch. This is the
closest to the touch of an acoustic piano.
Sets the keyboard to a heavy touch. You have
to finger the keyboard more forcefully than
MEDIUM in order to play fortissimo (ff ), so
the keyboard touch feels heavier. Dynamic
fingering adds even more feeling to what
you play.
An even heavier setting than HEAVY.
This setting provides even more precise
adjustment of the key touch than available
with the Key Touch setting alone.
The touch sensitivity becomes heavier as the
value increases.
When this parameter is set to a value that
exceeds the upper or lower limit, the setting
for Key Touch (one of five possible values) is
automatically changed to accommodate the
value you've specified.
Volume levels and the way sounds are played
change in response to the velocity.
Regardless of how strongly you play the
keyboard, volume levels and the way sounds
are played always reflect the fixed velocity
value you specify here.
As the value is decreased, the timing of the
sound is delayed more when more force is used
to play the keys. As the value is increased, the
timing of the sound is delayed more when less
force is used to play the keys.
As the value is increased, the touch becomes
heavier in the upper registers, and lighter in the
lower registers.
Note-off occurs at the key depth of a
conventional piano.
Note-off occurs at a deeper position. This is
suitable for electric piano sounds.
