Touch Response
The YPR-50 keyboard is equipped with a highly expressive Touch Response function, letting you play the
voices with virtually the same dynamic control that you would have on an actual acoustic piano. What's
more, the sensitivity of the function can be set to match your own playing style and performance preferences.
Setting the Touch Sensitivity
Touch Sensitivity gives you custom control over the Touch Response feature, by letting you set how the level
of the instrument responds to your playing strength. Four different sensitivity types are available.
Operation
Simultaneously hold down the two Touch Sensitivity keys (at the right-most side of the keyboard) and press the
appropriate key in the Touch Sensitivity section of the keyboard.
For example, to select SOFT, simultaneously hold down the two highest keys (F 6 and G6) and press A 4.
SOFT (key: A 4)
This results in limited Touch Response and
produces a narrow dynamic range, even for
very light or strong playing touch. This
setting is suited to music which demands
consistently high volume, such as rock 'n' roll. FIXED (key: G4)
This sets the keyboard to a specific, fixed velocity,
letting you play at a constant volume no matter how
hard or soft you play the keys.
HARD (key: B 4)
This is designed for playing very soft
passages, since it gives you more
detailed control in the soft volume
range. It is best suited for quiet jazz,
new age, and soft ballads. MEDIUM (key: A4)
This lets you play the voices over a
normal dynamic range (soft to loud).
(This is the default type.)
