Making Detailed Settings for the ONE TOUCH Tones
Changing the Key Touch
You can make advanced settings for the touch used for the keys.
Changing this setting also changes the Key Touch setting in Edit Mode
(p. 63).
Parameter Value Description
Key Touch
SPR LIGHT An even lighter setting than LIGHT.
LIGHT
This sets the keyboard to a light
touch. You can achieve fortissimo (ff)
play with a less forceful touch than
usual, so the keyboard feels lighter.
This setting makes it easy to play,
even for children.
MEDIUM
This sets the keyboard to the
standard touch. You can play with
the most natural touch. This is the
closest to the touch of an acoustic
piano.
HEAVY
This sets the keyboard to a heavy
touch. You have to finger the
keyboard more forcefully than usual
in order to play fortissimo (ff), so
the keyboard touch feels heavier.
Dynamic fingering adds even more
feeling to what you play.
SPR HEAVY An even heavier setting than HEAVY.
Key Touch
Offset
-10–+9
This setting provides even more
precise adjustment of the key touch
than available with the Key Touch
setting alone.
This allows you to achieve a more
precise setting for the Key Touch by
specifying an intermediate value
between Key Touch settings. The
touch sensitivity becomes heavier as
the value increases.
When this parameter is set to a value
that exceeds the upper or lower
limit, the setting for Key Touch (one
of five possible values) is automati-
cally changed to accommodate the
value you’ve specified.
Parameter Value Description
Velocity
REAL
Volume levels and the way sounds
are played change in response to
the velocity.
1–127
The fixed velocity value you specify
here will determine the volume
and the way the sound is produced,
regardless of your keyboard playing
strength.
Velo Delay
Sens (Velocity
Delay Sensitiv-
ity)
-63–+63
This sets the interval from the time
the key is played to when the sound
is produced.
As the value is decreased, the timing
of the sound is delayed more when
more force is used to play the keys.
As the value is increased, the timing
of the sound is delayed more when
less force is used to play the keys.
Velo Keyflw
Sens (Veloc-
ity Keyfollow
Sensitivity)
-63–+63
This setting changes the touch
sensitivity according to the key
range being used.
As the value is increased, the touch
becomes heavier in the upper
registers, and lighter in the lower
keys.
Key Off
Position
STND (STANDARD)
Note-off will occur at the depth of a
conventional piano.
DEEP
Note-off will occur at a deeper
position. This is suitable for electric
piano sounds.
Finely Adjusting the Tuning
This procedure allows micro-tuning of each individual key.
You can adjust this in a range of -50.0 to +50.0 cents in 0.1 cent steps.
(One semitone is 100 cents.)
Parameter Value
Type OFF, PRST (PRESET), USER
1. In step 3 of “Making Detailed Settings for the Piano Tones”
(p . 42), choose “2 . Micro Tune Edit” and press the [ENTER]
button .
The Micro Tune Edit screen appears.
Pressing the [EXIT/SHIFT] button returns you to the previous screen.
2. Press the Cursor [ ] button to move the cursor to the value
for “TYPE .”
3. Use the [DEC] [INC] buttons to select the type .
4. Press the Cursor [
] button to move the cursor to the
numerical value .
5. Press the key to specify it as the one you want to tune .
6. Use the [DEC] [INC] buttons to adjust the value .
Adjusting Resonance when the Damper
Pedal is Depressed
You can adjust this resonance when the damper pedal is depressed
(Sympathetic Resonance).
On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will allow
the remaining strings to resonate in sympathy with the sounds that
you played from the keyboard, adding a rich resonance. This feature
reproduces that resonance sound.
Parameter Value Description
Sw OFF, ON
When set to ON, the effect is
applied.
Depth 0–127 Depth of the effect
Damper 0–127
Depth to which the damper pedal
is pressed (controls the resonant
sound)
Pre LPF 16–15000 Hz, BYPASS
Frequency of the filter that cuts
the high-frequency content of the
input sound (BYPASS: no cut)
Pre HPF BYPASS, 16–15000 Hz
Frequency of the filter that cuts
the low-frequency content of the
input sound (BYPASS: no cut)
Peaking Freq 200–8000 Hz
Frequency of the filter that
boosts/cuts a specific frequency
region of the input sound
Peaking Gain -15–+15 dB
Amount of boost/cut produced
by the filter at the specified
frequency region of the input
sound
Peaking Q 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0
Width of the frequency region
boosted/cut by the Peaking Gain
parameter (larger values make the
region narrower)
