● INITIAL TOUCH
With this function, the 9000Pro senses how strongly or softly you play the keys, and uses that
playing strength to affect the sound in various ways, depending on the selected voice. This
allows you to play with greater expressiveness and add effects with your playing technique.
● AFTER TOUCH
With this function, the 9000Pro senses how much pressure you apply to the keys while play-
ing, and uses that pressure to affect the sound in various ways, depending on the selected
voice. This allows you to play with greater expressiveness and add effects with your playing
technique.
