Description

Heavy
Requires a heavier touch to produce a loud volume. Ideally suited to those with stronger fingers.
Normal
Reproduces the standard touch sensitivity of a typical acoustic piano.
Light
A louder volume is produced even when playing with a soft touch. For those still developing finger strength.
Light +
Requires less striking force to achieve a forte note. For players with a very delicate touch.

A constant volume is produced regardless of how hard the keys are struck.
Sys.User1/2
A custom touch curve, created to suit an individual’s personal playing style.
2. Octave Shift
This parameter sets the amount of octave transposition for the
selected section.
3. KS-Damping/KS-Key
This function allows the velocity of the keyboard to be reduced
over a specified range. This may be useful when layering a
piano sound with a strings sound, in order to reduce the level
of the strings sound in the higher key range.
The damping key range is from the KS-Key to the highest key.
* This function is not available for the MIDI section.
Creating USER touch curves
Please refer to the User Edit explanation in the SYSTEM Menu chapter (page 74).
