Adjusting the Keyboard Touch (Key Touch)

You can adjust the touch (playing feel) of the keyboard.
* This setting applies to all tones.
Setting Explanation
The sound plays at one set volume, regardless of the
Fixed
force used to play the keys.
Super Light This setting produces the lightest keyboard touch.
You can achieve fortissimo (ff) play with a less
forceful touch than usual, so the keyboard feels
Light
lighter. This setting makes it easy to play, even for
children.
This sets the standard keyboard touch. You can play
Medium with the most natural touch. This is the closest to the
touch of an acoustic piano.
You have to finger the keyboard more forcefully than
usual in order to play fortissimo (ff), so the keyboard
Heavy
touch feels heavier. Dynamic fingering adds even
more feeling to what you play.
Super Heavy This setting produces the heaviest keyboard touch.

Making Fine Adjustments to the Key Touch

(Key Touch Offset)

This lets you make further detailed adjustments to the keyboard
sensitivity as appropriate for the strength of your fingers.
* This setting applies to all tones.
Setting Explanation
-10–0–9 Higher settings will produce a heavier playing feel.

Changing the Timing of Sounds According
to the Force Used to Press the Keys
(Hammer Response)
This adjusts how your playing strength will affect the timing at
which the note sounds. This is called the "Hammer Response"
function.
On an acoustic piano, pressing a key moves a hammer, which strikes
a string to produce sound. If you press the key softly, the hammer
will move slowly, meaning that it will take slightly longer (in
comparison to a strongly-played note) from the moment you press
the key until the sound is produced.
If the Hammer Response function is turned on, the time between
the moment you press a key until the sound is heard will change
depending on the strength with which you play. As you play more
softly, this time will become longer.
* This setting applies to all tones.
Setting Explanation
Higher settings will produce slower response. The
Off, 1–10 Hammer Response function is not active when the
value is set to "Off."
Adjusting the Sound of Hammers Striking
Strings (Hammer Noise)
You can adjust the sound produced when the hammer of an
acoustic piano strikes the string.
Setting Explanation
Higher settings will produce a louder sound of the
-2–0–2
hammer striking the string.
