Touch and Touch Sensitivity

The Touch function gives you dynamic, expressive control over the voices, letting
you determine how loud or soft the sound is by your playing strength.
Turn the Touch function on or off as desired by pressing the [TOUCH] but-
ton.
Touch Sensitivity lets you set how the PSR-280 responds to your playing strength,
allowing you to customize this expressive function to suit your own playing style.

function is on
This results in limited touch response, and produces a relatively narrow
dynamic range, no matter how lightly or strongly you play the keys.
This lets you play over a normal dynamic range (soft to loud).
This is designed for playing very soft passages, giving you slightly more
detailed control in the soft volume range.
