Touch lets you select a different touch sensitivity for the keyboard from
the standard touch of an acoustic piano. You can change the sensitivity
to one of five different settings: Light, Light+, Heavy, Heavy+ and Off.
Light For those still developing finger strength. A louder volume is
produced even when playing with a soft touch.
Light+ For players with a delicate touch. Requires less striking force
to achieve a forte note.
Heavy Perfect for those with strong fingers. Requires a heavier touch
to produce a loud volume.
Heavy+ Requires more striking force to achieve a loud volume.
Off A constant volume is produced regardless of how hard the
keys are struck. This setting is suitable for sounds that have a
fixed dynamic range such as Organ and Harpsichord.
To change from the standard touch, press the TOUCH button. The
LED indicator above the TOUCH button will be turned on to indicate that
the piano is now using a different touch setting.
To select the Touch type, press and hold the TOUCH button. The LCD
display will show the currently selected touch type.
The LCD display shows the touch type currently
selected.
Use the VALUE buttons to change the Touch type.
Press the TOUCH button again to get back to the standard touch
setting.
Touch selection is global for all the preset tones. You can not have an
individual setting for each tone.
◆ NOTE
LIGHT and HEAVY do not represent the physical weight of the keys. These
are settings that affect the sensitivity of the keys, which determines the
volume level in response to the key movement.

RANSPOSE
The transpose function lets you raise or lower the piano’s key in half steps.
This is especially useful when you have learned a song in one key and
have to play it in another key. The transpose feature allows you to play
the song in the original key, but hear it in another key.
