Learning How to Use "Touch" Control
(Touch Tutor)
This learning feature lets you practice how hard or soft to play the keys for musical
expression, referred to as "Touch" in this chapter, by playing back Song numbers 103 to
112 (in the "Touch Tutor" category). Playing back Songs from this category shows indi-
cations for the appropriate playing strength. Try playing according to the level dis-
played in the LCD as the Song progresses.
NOTE
• Be sure to set the Touch Response parameter (page 18) to a
value other than "Fixed. " When set to "Fixed, " the Touch Tutor
function is inactive.
