10.2.2 Touch
This parameter adjusts the touch response curve of the keyboard.
Heavy+ This Curve has a steep rise as velocity increases, and a shallower curve at
low velocities. (see 1) This curve requires the most striking force to produce
a loud volume.
Heavy This curve requires a stronger striking force to produce a loud volume. (see
2) This curve is perfect for those with strong fingers.
Normal This curve recreates the touch response of an average acoustic piano.
Light This curve requires less striking force to produce a loud volume. (see 4) This
curve is good for those still developing finger strength.
Light+ This curve requires the least amount of striking force to produce a loud
volume. (see 5) This curve is good for those with a very delicate touch.
Off This curve gives a constant velocity level no matter how hard the keyboard
is struck. (see 6) This curve is suitable for sounds that have a fixed dynamic
range such as Organ, Harpsichord and certain synthesizer sounds.
User1,2 You can create your own custom touch curve to fit your playing style. Two

Soft ≥ Loud

turn off the volume first.
