4.5 Selecting the tuning curve (Stretch Tuning)
A piano is generally tuned to a pitch with a lower bass range and a higher treble range than equal temperament. This
special tuning method for pianos is called “Stretch Tuning.”
1.
Simultaneously press [Demo] and [Reverb] to
enter Function mode (both indicators flash).
2.
Use the “A7” or “A#7” key to switch the Stretch
Tuning function on or off.
(See p. 12 for the exact location of these keys.)
[A7] Off–
This is the standard tuning curve. This is the
right choice when using Dual performance (p. 10), or
when playing in ensemble with other instruments.
[A#7] On–
This tuning curve expands the bass and tre-
ble ends somewhat. It is suitable for performances
such as piano solos. This setting is in effect when you
turn on the power.
This effect works only with the piano tones.
3.
Press [Demo] and [Reverb] again to leave the
HP-1’s Function mode.
4.6 Setting the key touch
Your HP-1 also provides a function that allows you to adapt it to your playing style, or to ensure that even your children
can play loud notes. The are four “Key Touch” levels that can be selected once you have called up the Function mode
(p. 12):
Press one of the keys labeled “Key Touch” to select the
desired level.
Note: Though “Light” may be a good settings for beginners,
they should also try to get used to playing with the
“Medium” setting.
Light: Little strength is required to play at high vol-
umes.
Medium: The keyboard reacts normally (similar to an
acoustic piano).
Heavy: Choose this only if you usually strike with too
much force and therefore play very bright/loud notes.
This is also a good setting for practising purposes.
Fixed: The timbre (tone color) and volume are the
same for all notes. The HP-1 is therefore no longer
touch sensitive. This setting is probably only useful for
the “Organ 1” and “Organ 2” sounds.
Note: At power-on, the HP-1 selects the “Medium” setting.
