Touch Sensitivity - Yamaha S08 Owner's Manual

Six different types of keyboard sensitivity can be selected to match different playing styles and preferences.
1 Press the [CONTROLLER] button to enter the Controller mode.
2 Use the [
] and [ ] buttons to select the Fixed Vel screen (PAGE 6), then press the [DEC/NO] button to select
"off."
n When you play the keyboard at the same volume, enter the value of the velocity (volume). In this case, the step below is not
necessary.
3 Use the [
] button to select the Vel Curve screen (PAGE 5), then press the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons to
select the desired setting (see below).
4 Press the [EXIT] button to exit from the Controller mode.
norm (Normal)
The velocity is in proportion to
playing strength (how hard you
play the keyboard).
soft1
This curve provides increased
response, especially for lower
velocities. In other words, playing
softly results in higher response
than the "norm" curve. Use this
curve if you want greater control
in the low velocity range.
soft2
This curve provides increased
response, especially for lower
velocities. In other words, playing
softly results in higher response
than the "norm" curve. Use this
curve if you want greater control
in the low velocity range; the
response is between Soft1 and
Normal.

easy
This curve is also designed to
increase the volume level with a
softer playing style. However, the
volume level is stable in all
registers since the velocity curve in
the mid range is close to Normal.
wide
This setting provides opposite
response curves for lower and
higher velocities. It widens the
apparent dynamic range of the
controller, producing less sound
change in the softer range and
more change in the higher range.
hard
This curve effectively lessens the
overall response compared to the
"norm" curve. Use this curve if
you tend to play strongly and want
the sound change to be less
sensitive.
