YDP-S52 Owner’s Manual
Because of the simple, piano-like design of this instrument, there are a minimum of panel controls, and most
settings are made using the keys of the keyboard. When you turn a function on or off, or change a setting, the
instrument produces a sound to confirm the change. There are three types of sounds used: an ascending
sound for on, a descending sound for off, and clicks for other settings. In the Metronome setting (page 17), a
numeric value is read out when a tempo is specified by a three-digit value using the keyboard.
For the list of functions assigned to the buttons and keys, see “Quick Operation Guide” (separate sheet).
Turning the Operation Confirmation Sounds on
Press the A
♯-1 key while holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and the [PIANO/
VOICE] simultaneously.
Turning the Operation Confirmation Sounds off

You can specify the Touch Sensitivity (how the sound responds to the way you
play the keys).
