1 TOUCH TONE

The Touch Tone function gives you expressive control over the volume
and timbre of a voice. Two types of keyboard touch affect this function:
Initial Touch and After Touch.
All voices are provided with this expressive function, making it possible
to perfectly reproduce the subtle dynamic and tonal changes of actual
instruments. For example, piano voices sound much brighter when
you hit the keys strongly, especially in the attack portion of the sound-
exactly as if you were playing an acoustic piano.
INITIAL Touch
- 1
1
Controls volume and timbre according to the velocity at which
you strike the keys. The harder you strike the keys, the greater
the volume and the brighter the timbre will become.
- 2 AFTER Touch
1
Controls volume and timbre according to the pressure you apply
to the keys after playing them. The harder, you press down on
the keys, the greater the volume and the brighter the timbre will
become.
N O T E :
Generally, After Touch has no effect on
percussive voices (such as Piano,
Harpsichord or Vibraphone) or percussion
sounds.
