If a song or pattern seems to be too fast or slow, try changing the tempo.
Press the TEMPO [+] or [-] button.
The “Tempo” parameter will appear in the display.
Use the TEMPO [+] and [-] buttons to set the tempo to anywhere from 11 through 280 beats per minute.
You can return to the original tempo by simultaneously pressing the [+] and [-] buttons.
For songs in 4/4 time tap the [TAP TEMPO] button four times, or for 3/4 songs tap it 3 times at the desired
tempo to automatically set the playback tempo accordingly.
Tap slowly to reduce the tempo, or quickly to increase the tempo. You only need to tap twice to set the
tempo during song playback.
When touch response is on you can adjust the key-
board’s sensitivity to dynamics in four steps.
1
Press the [UTILITY] button to go to the
UTILITY display.
2
Use the CATEGORY [DEC] / [INC] but-
tons to select the Touch Sensitivity
item.
The currently selected touch sensitivity is displayed.

Use the dial to select a touch sensitivity
setting between 1 and 4.
Higher values produce greater (easier) volume
variation in response to keyboard dynamics—
i.e. greater sensitivity.
When touch sensitivity is set to 4 (Off), all
notes will be played at the same volume no
matter how hard or softly you play the keys.
