5) Touch Curve
The CA piano responds just like a real acoustic piano when you play it. It produces a louder sound when you
play hard and a softer sound when you play soft. The volume level and sound character changes in relation to
how strongly and quickly the keys are pressed. This system is called "touch sensitivity" on a digital piano. The
CA piano's Touch Curve function lets you select a different touch sensitivity for the keyboard from the standard
touch of an acoustic piano. You can change the touch sensitivity to one of six different preset touch curves and
two user touch curves.
Light +
: For players with a delicate touch. Requires less striking force to achieve a forte note.
Light
: For those still developing fi nger strength. A louder volume is produced even when playing
with a soft touch. This curve is recommended for children
and organ players.
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 fixed dynamic range such as Organ and
Harpsichord.

The selected touch curve is shown on the second line on the display.
See the next page for information on creating a user touch curve.

The touch curve setting defaults to "Normal" each time the power is turned off. You can use the user memory func-

turned off.
