Play the Grand Piano Voice

When you just want to play piano, all you have to do is press one convenient button.
Press the [PORTABLE GRAND] button.
The "001 Grand Piano" voice will be selected.

Pitch Bend (DGX-205/203 only)

The pitch bend wheel provided on the DGX-205/203 can be used to add smooth pitch variations to notes you play on
the keyboard. Roll the wheel upward to raise the pitch, or downward to lower the pitch.
If you use this feature with a voice such as the "038 Overdriven" guitar voice (page 18), you can produce remarkably
realistic string-bending effects.

Touch Response

When touch response is on you can control the volume of notes according to how hard you play the keys – much like
a real piano responds to subtle touch nuances. When touch response is off the same volume will be produced no mat-
ter how hard you play the keys.
Press the [TOUCH] button.
The [TOUCH] button turns touch response on or off. Touch response is normally
on. When touch response is on the touch response icon will appear in the display.
