Touch Sensitivity
@ Memorizing the Touch Sen-
The [TOUCH SENSITIVITY] button selects three different types of keyboard touch sensi-
tivity — HARD, MEDIUM or SOFT — to match different playing styles and preferences.
To select a touch sensitivity setting press the [TOUCH SENSITIVITY] button a few times
until the indicator corresponding to the desired setting lights (the indicators light in se-
quence each time the [TOUCH SENSITIVITY] button is pressed).
HARD
The HARD setting requires the keys to be played quite hard to produce maximum loudness.
MEDIUM .... The MEDIUM setting produces a fairly "standard" keyboard response. This is the initial factory

The SOFT setting allows maximum loudness to be produced with relatively light key pressure.
Press the C7 key while holding the [TOUCH SENSITIVITY ] button to
memorize the current touch sensitivity setting. The memorized setting will
be retaincd in memory for about one week after the power is turned off,
then the default setting will be restored. To keep the memorized setting for
longer periods, turn the power on briefly at least once a weck.
If this settings is not memorized as described above, it is retained in
memory only until the Clavinova is turned off.
The Clavinova's TRANSPOSE function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire key-
board up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of six semitones. "Transposing" the
pitch of the Clavinova keyboard facilitates playing in difficult key signatures, and you can easily
match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist.
The [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button and keys F#2 through F#3 on the keyboard are used for transposition.

Press and hold the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
Press a key between F#2 and F#3 according to the desired amount of
transposition.*
Release the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
* Pressing the C3 key produces normal keyboard pitch. Pressing the key to
the left of C3 (B2) transposes the pitch of the keyboard down a semitone,
the next key to the left (Bb2) transposes down a whole tone (Lwo semi-
tones), etc., down to the F#2 key which transposes down 6 semitones.
Upward transposition is accomplished in the same way using the keys to
the right of C3, up to F#3 which transposes up 6 semitones.
