the current velocity sensitivity of the instrument. There are seven levels ranging from Lightest
to Hardest. The names refer to the degree of force needed to produce a sound of a certain
volume and brightness when striking the keyboard. Lighter settings mean that a relatively light
touch is needed to make the instrument sound louder, while harder settings mean that a more
aggressive striking of the keys is necessary to achieve louder volumes.
Use the Up/Down buttons to adjust the sensitivity setting. You can try out the setting by playing
the keyboard while adjusting, until the touch you like best is reached. When the Keytouch menu
is on display, the right and middle pedals can be used to adjust the keytouch as well; this allows
you to play with both hands while adjusting the touch.
The keytouch setting is always remembered when the power is turned off, and is not saved as a
part of a Panel Memory. The default keytouch setting is Normal.
