Keyboard Mode Functions
This setting determines how the volume changes in response to
the force used to play the keyboard (Velocity Sensitivity).
The
velocity
—the force with which you play the keyboard—
can affect the volume or timbre of a sound.
1.
Press [KEY TOUCH] so the button is lit.
The Key Touch window will open.
2.
Use the cursor buttons to select the item that you want to
change, and use the VALUE dial to change the value.
3.
When you’ve finished making settings, press [KEY TOUCH]
once again to close the window.
If you want to keep this setting, press [WRITE] to store it into
the Performance (p. 41).
You can shift the pitch of the currently selected Tone upward
or downward in steps of an octave, over a maximum of four
octaves upward or downward.
1.
Press OCTAVE [ ] or [ ].
The Octave Shift window will open, and will then close a
few moments after you release the button.
2.
While holding down OCTAVE [ ] or [ ], use Cursor
[ ] [ ] to select the Tone whose pitch you want to
shift.
3.
Use OCTAVE [ ] [ ] to change the octave.
By using the “Transpose function,” you can transpose your
performance without changing the notes you play. You can
also use this function to play back a song in a different key.
1.
Press [TRANSPOSE].
The Transpose window will open, and will then close a
few moments after you release the button.
2.
While holding down [TRANSPOSE], use [ ] [ ] to
select the item whose setting you want to change.
3.
Hold down [TRANSPOSE], and use the VALUE dial to
specify the desired value.
[TRANSPOSE] will light if the setting is anything other than
C.
By holding down [TRANSPOSE] and using OCTAVE [ ]
[ ], you can change the Transpose value regardless of
where the cursor is located.

Parameter
Value Explanation
Curve
LIGHT
Select this setting if you do not
want velocity changes to bring
about major volume changes.
MEDIUM
Medium velocity sensitivity. The
keyboard responds to velocity
changes, but the maximum
volume can be obtained more
easily than with “HEAVY.”
HEAVY
Select this setting for maximum
expressiveness. Even small
variations of the force with which
you strike a key produce audible
changes. The tradeoff is,
however, that you have to strike
the keys forcefully to achieve the
maximum volume.
FIXED
Select this setting if all notes you
play on the keyboard should have
the same velocity value.
Value
1–127
Specifies the volume value used
when “Curve” is set to “FIXED.”
