8.2.2 Touch
This parameter adjusts the touch response curve of the keyboard.
Heavy+: This Curve has a steep rise as velocity increases, and a shallower curve at low
velocities. (see 1) This curve requires the most striking force to produce a
loud volume.
Heavy: This curve requires a stronger striking force to produce a loud volume. (see
2) This curve is perfect for those with strong fingers.
Normal: This curve recreates the touch response of an average acoustic piano.
Light: This curve requires less striking force to produce a loud volume. (see 4) This
curve is good for those still developing finger strength.
Light+: This curve requires the least amount of striking force to produce a loud volume.
(see 5) This curve is good for those with a very delicate touch.
Off: This curve gives a constant velocity level no matter how hard the keyboard is
struck. (see 6) This curve is suitable for sounds that have a fixed dynamic
range such as Organ, Harpsichord and certain synthesizer sounds.
User1,2: You can create your own custom touch curve to fit your playing style. Two
user touch curves can be saved.
User Touch
The touch curve is the main component between the action and the sound.
With this User Touch Curve function you can customize the MP8II according to
your personal playing style.
After selecting the “Touch” function by pressing the MENU buttons, use the
VALUE buttons to select User1 or User2. Now the selected curve is activated.
To create your own personal touch curve press the STORE button.
Now start playing the piano dynamically from soft to loud in order to let the
piano analyze your playing style. Make sure that you really play in a realistic
way according to your finger power and feeling. Sometimes the result is better
if you turn off the volume first.
Press the STORE button again when you finish playing.
The piano will analyze your playing and create a custom touch curve for you
based upon your playing style. The new curve is automatically saved and will
be used until you change the touch curve again or record a new one.
