touch of an acoustic piano. You can change the sensitivity to one of five different settings: LIGHT1/
2, HEAVY1/2 and OFF.
LIGHT
For those still developing finger strength. A louder volume is produced
even when playing with a soft touch. LIGHT 2 is lighter than LIGHT 1.
HEAVY
Perfect for those with strong fingers. Requires a heavier touch to
produce a loud volume. HEAVY 2 is heavier than HEAVY 1.
OFF
A constant volume is produced regardless of how hard the keys are
struck. This setting is suitable for sounds that have a fixed dynamic
range such as Organ and Harpsichord.
(1) To change from the standard touch press the Touch button. The LED indicator above the Touch
button will be turned on to indicate that the piano is now using a different touch setting.
(2) Use the Value buttons to change the type of touch while the Touch button is held down.
(3) Press the Touch button again to get back to the standard touch setting.
NOTE:
Touch selection is global for all the preset tones. You cannot have an individual setting for each
tone. Once the power is turned off, the setting will be reset to the standard setting.
LIGHT and HEAVY do not represent the physical weight of the keys. These are settings that affect
the sensitivity of the keys, which determines the volume level in response to the key movement.
4. REGISTRATION
A Registration is a setup that remembers most of the panel setting, such as sound selections and
effect settings, so that you can recall them at the touch of a button. Seven Registrations can be
memorized and saved.
(1) To memorize the current panel settings, press and hold the Registration button. While holding
the Registration button, press any one of the sound buttons marked 1 through 7 to select a location
for your new Registration. Continue holding both the Registration button and the selected sound
button until you hear a click. The click sound indicates that your Registration has now been saved
to your selected location.
(2) To recall a registration, first press the Registration button and make sure its LED is lit. Then
press one of the Sound buttons marked 1 through 7 to select the desired registration.
