6) SELECTING THE TOUCH SENSITIVITY
The TOUCH function allows different touch sensitivities for the keyboard to be selected, other than the standard
touch of an acoustic piano. The sensitivity can be changed to one of fi ve different settings: Light 1, Light 2, Heavy 1,
Heavy 2 or Off.
Step1
Press the TOUCH button to change from the standard (Normal) touch setting.
The LED indicator for the TOUCH button will turn on, indicating that the piano is using a different touch setting.
Step2
To change the touch type, press and hold the TOUCH button and press the VALUE buttons.
Press and hold the TOUCH button to show the currently selected touch curve in the display.
Press the TOUCH button again to return to the standard (Normal) touch setting.
The touch setting is global for all of the preset sounds. It is not possible to have individual touch settings for each
preset sound.
When the power is turned off the touch settings will return to the default settings.
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.
