Explanation
The key touch settings specified by
the Scene are enabled.
The key touch settings specified for
the system are enabled.
MEMO
If you want the key touch to be the
same for multiple Scenes, set Source
to "SYS". You can access the shared
key touch settings via [MENU] Ó
[SYSTEM] Ó [KEY TOUCH]. To save
the settings, execute the system
write operation ("Saving the system
settings (system write)" (p. 24)).
If you've selected a Scene whose
Source is set to "SYS", you can press
the [KEY TOUCH] button to access
the SYSTEM Key Touch setting
screen.
An even lighter setting than LIGHT.
This sets the keyboard to a light
touch. You can achieve fortissimo
(ff ) play with a less forceful touch
than usual, so the keyboard feels
lighter. This setting makes it easy to
play, even for children.
This sets the keyboard to the
standard touch. You can play with
the most natural touch. This is the
closest to the touch of an acoustic
piano.
This sets the keyboard to a heavy
touch. You have to finger the
keyboard more forcefully than usual
in order to play fortissimo (ff ), so
the keyboard touch feels heavier.
Dynamic fingering adds even more
feeling to what you play.
An even heavier setting than HEAVY.
This setting provides even more
precise adjustment of the key touch
than available with the Velocity
Curve setting alone.
This allows you to achieve a more
precise setting for the Velocity Curve
by specifying an intermediate value
between Key Touch settings. The
touch sensitivity becomes heavier as
the value increases.
When this parameter is set to a
value that exceeds the upper or
lower limit, the setting for Velocity
Curve (one of five possible values)
is automatically changed to
accommodate the value you've
specified.
Volume levels and the way sounds
are played change in response to
the velocity.
The fixed velocity value you specify
here will determine the volume
and the way the sound is produced,
regardless of your keyboard playing
strength.
