Indicate Description
OFF
(Fixed)
The sound plays at one set volume, regardless of the force
used to play the keys.
1 (Light)
A light keyboard touch is selected. You can achieve fortis-
simo (ff) play with a less forceful touch than usual, so the
keyboard feels lighter. This setting makes it easy to play,
even for children.
2 (Normal)
This sets the standard keyboard touch. You can play with
the most natural touch. This is the closest to the touch of
an acoustic piano.
3 (Heavy)
Here, a heavy keyboard touch is selected. You have to fin-
ger the keyboard more forcefully than usual in order to
play fortissimo (ff), so the keyboard touch feels heavier.
Dynamic fingering adds even more feeling to what you
play.
