10.1 Piano screen functions

Metronome volume and beat
1. Press <Metronome>.
"Volume" (1~10) and "Beat" will be displayed.
2. Adjust the volume and beat (time signature) with
the buttons next to the display.
Note: The volume is set to "5" when the power is turned on.
The available Beat settings are: 0/4, 2/4, 3/4~7/4, 3/8,
6/8, 9/8, 12/8. The metronome always uses the time
signature of the last Music Style you selected, so that
you can set the Beat by selecting a Style with the
appropriate time signature.
Note: You cannot change the Beat in the Arranger mode or
when you are using the Composer function.
Key Touch (velocity sensitivity)
You can adjust the way in which the KR-11 translates
the velocity data.
1. Press <Key Touch>.
The touch level will appear in the right half of the
screen. Refer to this scale when making settings as you
play on the keyboard.
42
The velocity of the last note you played is displayed on
the left-hand side of the screen. You can refer to this
when setting the touch as you play the keyboard.
2. Move the arrow ( ) with the buttons to the right of
the screen.
Each time you move the arrow, the touch level
changes. The velocity sensitivity and the arrow corre-
spond in the following way:
Super
Playing fortissimo doesn't require much strength.
Light
Light Little strength is required to play fortissimo.
Medium Normal setting. Velocity sensitivity closest to that of
(Center) an acoustic piano.
Select this setting for maximum expressiveness: even
small variations of the force with which you strike a
Heavy key produce audible changes. The trade-off is that
you have to strike the keys forcefully to achieve the
maximum volume.
This setting means that all notes are sounded with the
Fixed
same volume and timbre.
Note: You can also change the velocity sensitivity using the
Utility Menu (see page 48).
Tuning
You can select the tuning of the keyboard.
1. Press <Tuning>.
Stretch Tuning
"Stretch Tuning" is a method of tuning unique to
pianos. Compared with equal tuning, low notes are
tuned slightly lower, while high notes are tuned
slightly higher. At power on, this parameter is set to
On.
2. Set the Stretch Tuning ON/OFF with the buttons to
the left of the display.
ON— Like an acoustic piano, the low range is a little
flat, and the upper range a little sharp.
OFF — The tuning of all notes has not been adjusted.
Temperament
"Temperament" refers to alternative ways of tuning an
instrument. Some of the options provided here allow
you to play Baroque and Classical pieces with the
tuning of those periods.
3. Set the tuning method with the buttons to the right
of the display.
You can choose from the following seven types of
tuning.
