If you touch < Reset >, all settings (parameters) shown in the
current screen will return to their factory-set values.
You can adjust the touch (playing feel) of the keyboard.
This setting applies to all tones.
Making fine adjustments to the key
touch (Key Touch Offset)
This lets you make further detailed adjustments to the
keyboard sensitivity as appropriate for the strength of your
fingers.
This setting applies to all tones.
This adjusts how your playing strength will affect the timing
at which the note sounds. This is called the “Hammer
Response” function.
On an acoustic piano, pressing a key moves a hammer, which
strikes a string to produce sound. If you press the key softly,
the hammer will move slowly, meaning that it will take
slightly longer (in comparison to a strongly-played note) from
the moment you press the key until the sound is produced.
If the Hammer Response function is turned on, the time
between the moment you press a key until the sound is heard
will change depending on the strength with which you play.
As you play more softly, this time will become longer.
This setting applies to all tones.

Adjusting the Keyboard Touch
(Key Touch)
Setting Explanation
Fixed
The sound plays at one set volume,
regardless of the force used to play the
keys.
Super Light
This setting produces the lightest
keyboard touch.
Light
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 standard keyboard touch.
You can play with the most natural
touch. This is the closest to the touch of
an acoustic piano.
Heavy
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.
Super Heavy
This setting produces the heaviest
keyboard touch.
Setting Explanation
-10–0–9
Higher settings will produce a heavier
playing feel.
Changing the Timing of Sounds
According to the Force Used to Press
the Keys (Hammer Response)
Setting Explanation
Off, 1–10
Higher settings will produce slower
response. The Hammer Response function
is not active when the value is set to “Off.”
