PLAYING VOICES — THE VOICE MODE
Voice Set and Touch Sensitivity are two important voice-related parameters,
and are found in the Utility section of the Function parameters.
When Voice Set (described in greater detail below) is set to on, you can
automatically call up a variety of voice-related settings that best suit the
selected voice.
Touch Sensitivity (also described below) gives you dynamic, expressive
control over the voices by letting you set how the volume of the PortaTone
responds to your playing strength.
Once the Touch Sensitivity parameter is set below, Touch response of the
keyboard can be turned on or off by pressing the TOUCH button.

1 Call up the Function mode.
Press the FUNCTION button.
2 Select the desired Function parameter number.
While the “FUNCTION” indication is flashing, use the numeric keypad to
select the Voice Set parameter (#72), or Touch Sensitivity (#73). (For
details on these parameters, see below.)
• Since the “FUNCTION”
indication flashes for only a
couple of seconds, make
sure to select the parameter
quickly after step 1 above.
Function parameter numbers can be selected in the same way as with the
voices (see page 28) — with the numeric keypad, +/- keys, or the FUNC-
TION button.
