1. SELECTING A TOUCH TYPE
Your digital piano lets you select from four different “Touch” types as follows:
NORMAL: The standard setting which produces volume in direct proportion to your force on
the keys. This setting is the most similar to an acoustic piano. This digital piano
automatically selects this Touch Type when the power is turned on.
LIGHT: For those still developing finger strength, such as a child, a louder sound is produced
even when played with a soft touch.
HEAVY: Perfect for those with strong fingers or for practicing with a hard touch.
CONSTANT: For tone colors like organ or harpsichord, and for playing some contemporary music
with the piano sound, loud sound is produced regardless of your force on the keys.
(1) To select the “LIGHT”, “CONSTANT” or “HEAVY”
Touch Type, press one of the following keys on the
keyboard while holding down the TOUCH and
TRANSPOSE switches.
Any C key: Selects the “LIGHT” Touch Type
Any D key: Selects the “HEAVY” Touch Type
Any E key: Selects the “CONSTANT” Touch Type
(2) Release both hands after selecting the Touch Type
to exit the programming mode.
When the TOUCH LED is off, the “NORMAL” Touch
Type is automatically selected. When an alternative
touch type is selected using the above procedure, the
TOUCH LED will light. The TOUCH button is a toggle
switch. Pressing the button turns on the LED. Pressing
it a second time turns off the LED.
