Explanation
The transmitted velocity value will
correspond to the force with which you
strike the key.
The transmitted velocity value will be fixed,
regardless of the force with which you strike
the key.
The keyboard will have a lighter-feeling
touch. Since you'll be able to reach
fortissimo (ff ) without having to play as
strongly as with the "MEDIUM" setting, the
keyboard will feel lighter. This setting makes
it easier for people with reduced finger
strength to play the keyboard.
This is the standard keyboard touch setting.
The key will have a heavier-feeling touch.
Since you'll need to play more strongly than
with the "MEDIUM" setting in order to reach
fortissimo (ff ), the keyboard will feel heavier.
This setting allows you to use your playing
dynamics to add more expression to your
performances.
Adjusts the keyboard velocity curve.
Lower values make the keyboard feel lighter.
Higher values make the keyboard feel
heavier.
Specifies the aftertouch sensitivity.
Increasing this value makes it easier to apply
aftertouch. Normally you should leave this
set at "100. "

by the pedal is determined by the system
setting (SYSTEM) or the settings of the

Selects the polarity of the pedals.
Depending on the model of pedal, the result
of depressing or releasing the pedal might
be the opposite of what you expect. If so,
choose the "RVS" setting. If you're using a
Roland pedal (that has no polarity switch),
choose the "STD" setting.
