Setting The Operation Confirmation Sounds; Changing The Touch Sensitivity - Yamaha ARIUS YDP-S52 Owner's Manual

Playing the Piano

Setting the Operation Confirmation Sounds

Because of the simple, piano-like design of this instrument, there are a minimum of panel controls, and most
settings are made using the keys of the keyboard. When you turn a function on or off, or change a setting, the
instrument produces a sound to confirm the change. There are three types of sounds used: an ascending
sound for on, a descending sound for off, and clicks for other settings. In the Metronome setting (page 17), a
numeric value is read out when a tempo is specified by a three-digit value using the keyboard.
For the list of functions assigned to the buttons and keys, see "Quick Operation Guide" (separate sheet).

play the keyboard soft or hard.
The volume level does not change much when you play the
keyboard soft or hard.
This is the standard piano touch response.
The volume level changes very widely from pianissimo to fortissimo
