Keyboard Touch/Modulation Wheel
The Touch feature lets you control the volume of the voices by your playing strength. These settings allow you to
customize the keyboard's touch response (sensitivity) to your personal playing preferences. You can also set whether the
Modulation wheel is effective or not — for each individual keyboard part.

• Selectively Transposing Keyboard/Song
These settings can be used to match both the song and your
keyboard performance to a certain key. For example, let's say
you wish to play and sing along with a certain recorded song.
The song data is in F, but you feel most comfortable singing in D,
and you are accustomed to playing the keyboard part in C. To
match up the keys, keep the Master Transpose setting at "0," set
the Keyboard Transpose to "2," and set Song Transpose to "-3."
This brings the keyboard part up in pitch and the song data
down to your comfortable singing key.
Requires strong playing to produce
high volume. Best for players with a
heavy touch.
Requires moderately strong playing for
higher volume.
Produces high volume with moderate
playing strength.
Produces relatively high volume even
with light playing strength. Best for
players with a light touch.
