FUNCTION MODE
2) TOUCH TYPE
When playing a piano, the volume of the sound produced increases in direct relation to how hard each key is struck. The
TOUCH function allows different touch sensitivities for the keyboard to be selected, other than the standard touch of an
acoustic piano. The sensitivity can be changed to one of four different settings: Light, Normal, Heavy or Constant.
Step 1
Press and hold the METRONOME and SOUND SELECT buttons simultaneously, then press the key
assigned to the TOUCH function.
Step 2
While still holding down the METRONOME and SOUND SELECT
buttons, press one of the following keys:
¡ Key1: LIGHT
For those still developing fi nger strength, such as a child, a louder
sound is produced even when the piano is played with a soft
touch.
¡ Key2: NORMAL
The standard setting, reproducing the touch sensitivity of an acoustic piano. This touch type is selected automatically
when the CN22 digital piano is turned on.
¡ Key3: HEAVY
Perfect for those with strong fi ngers or for practicing with a hard touch.
¡ Key4: CONSTANT
This setting is suitable for sounds that have a fi xed dynamic range, such as Organ and Harpsichord. A constant
volume is produced regardless of how hard the keys are struck.
„ The touch type is automatically set to NORMAL when the CN22 digital piano is turned on.
3) TRANSPOSE
The TRANSPOSE function allows the piano’s keys to be raised or lowered in half steps. This is particularly useful
when accompanying instruments with different tones, or when a song learned in one key must be played in another
key. The transpose feature allows the song to be played in the original key, but heard in another key.
Step 1
Press and hold the METRONOME and SOUND SELECT buttons simultaneously, then press the key
assigned to the TRANSPOSE function.
Step 2
While still holding down the METRONOME and SOUND
SELECT buttons, press a key on the keyboard to select the
desired transposed key.
„ The CN22 digital piano can be transposed up to 5 half steps
higher (F) or 6 half steps lower (F#).
„ The transpose value is set to 0 (C) when the CN22 digital piano
is turned on.
„ The transpose function can be turned off/on, retaining the set
value, by using the ‘- (off)’ or ‘+ (on)’ keys.
