Touch Sensitivity; Using The Metronome - Yamaha YPP-35 Owner's Manual

A. Touch Sensitivity
The УРР-35 is Touch Sensitive, which
means that the sound changes according
to the player's touch. If you use a stronger
touch (i.e. play harder), not only does the
sound get louder, but the timbre is also
ÉL I 2.
3. PLAYING TIPS & FEATURES
1 (Range 1), PIANO 2 (Range 2), E.PIANO
(Range 3).
* When the YPP-35/15 is turned on, the sensi-
tivity range 2 is automatically selected.
We recommend that you practise fine-tuning
your touch on the YPP-35, so as to achieve
maximum dynamic control and musical ex-
pression.
B. Using the Metronome
To activate the metronome, press the MET-
RONOME button (7). The initial tempo,
after the instrument has been turned on, is
always 120 beats per minute. The two
TEMPO buttons (8) are used to adjust the
tempo. To increase the tempo, press the
TEMPO д button, and hold it down until the
desired tempo is reached. To decrease the
tempo, follow the same procedure with the
TEMPO v button. Pressing both TEMPO
buttons at the same time brings the tempo
back to 120. The range of the Metronome
is from 40 to 280 beats per minute. To turn
offthe metronome, pressthe METRONOME
C. Transposition
The overall pitch of the YPP-35 can be
transposed up or down asfar as 6 semitones.
Transposition occurs in 100 cent (1
semitone) steps.
You can use the Transposition function to
play a passage of music in several different
keys, without actually changing the notes
you play. Similarly, if you have to do some
playing (for instance, accompanying or
improvising) in a difficult key, you can
transpose the YPP-35 to that key, so that
the played C major scale (i.e. the white
notes) will sound like a scale in that key.
1) Raising the Pitch
To raise the overall pitch of the YPP-35,
press the MIDI/TRANSPOSE button (9).
While holding it down press one of the Ci5
to РБ keys (shown in the Front Panel Dia-
gram).
