Touch Sensitivity - Yamaha P-120 P-120S Owner's Manual

Touch Sensitivity

Four different types of keyboard touch sensitivity — HARD, MEDIUM, SOFT
or FIXED — can be selected to match different playing styles and preferences.
To select a touch sensitivity type press the [TOUCH] button a few
times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the
indicators light in sequence each time the [TOUCH] button is pressed).
HARD
The HARD setting requires the keys to be played quite hard to produce
maximum loudness.
MEDIUM
The MEDIUM setting produces a fairly "standard" keyboard response.
This is the initial factory default setting.
SOFT
The SOFT setting allows maximum loudness to be produced with rela-
tively light key pressure.
FIXED
(no indicator lit)
All notes are produced at the same volume no matter how hard the key-
board is played.
When the FIXED type is selected, the volume of notes played in the
FIXED mode can be set by using the [–/NOM] and [+/YESL] buttons
while the [TOUCH] button is held (the current volume level appears on
the display). The volume range is from 1 through 127. The default setting
is 64.
• This setting does not change the weight of the keyboard.
NOTE
• The touch sensitivity type and volume set in the FIXED mode will become
the common setting for all voices. However, the touch sensitivity settings
may have little or no effect with certain voices which are not normally
responsive to keyboard dynamics (Refer to the "Voice Descriptions" on
page 45).
