Touch lets you select different touch sensitivity for the keyboard from the standard
touch of an acoustic piano. You can change the sensitivity to one of six different settings:
LIGHT, LIGHT+, NORMAL, HEAVY, HEAVY+, OFF.
Heavy+ Requires more striking force to achieve a loud volume.
Heavy Perfect for those with strong fingers. Requires a heavier touch to produce
a loud volume.
Normal Produces the normal touch curve of an acoustic piano throughout the
entire dynamic range. This is the preset value.
Light For those still developing finger strength. A louder volume is produced
even when playing with a soft touch.
Light+ For players with a delicate touch. Requires less striking force in order to
achieve a forte note.
Off A constant volume is produced regardless of how hard the keys are struck.
This setting is suitable for sounds that have a fixed dynamic range such
as Organ and Harpsichord.
To do this, hold down the VIRTUAL TECHNICIAN button and press the VALUE
button a few times setting the piano in Touch Curve mode.
Let go of the VIRTUAL TECHNICIAN button and press the "VALUE +" or
"VALUE - " button to change the value. If you have finished setting the touch curve,
press any other than the REC, PLAY/STOP button to turn the setting mode off.
Touch selection is global for all the preset tones. You cannot have an individual setting
for each one.
LIGHT and HEAVY do not represent the physical weight of the keys. These are settings
that affect the sensitivity of the keys, which determines the volume level in response to
the key movement.
The LCD display shows the setting.
