As with an acoustic piano, the CA93/CA63 digital piano produces a louder sound when the keys are struck with
force, and a softer sound when the keys are played gently. The volume and tonal character change in relation
to the strength and speed of playing - on a digital piano this system is referred to as ‘touch sensitivity’.
The Touch setting allows the touch sensitivity of the keyboard to be conveniently adjusted. There are six
dierent preset touch curve settings available, with two additional ‘User’ settings allowing performers to
customise the instrument’s responsiveness to suit their playing style.
