Keys Types Descriptions
A3 Light With this setting, fortissimo can be
produced using much less force than
normal, thus making the keys seem
lighter. This setting makes it easy to
play, even for children.
A#3 Medium Normal setting, providing the most
natural touch, closest to that of an
acoustic piano.
B3 Heavy With this setting, to play fortissimo the
keys must be played much more
strongly than normally, as if the keys
had become heavier. Adds even more
emotion when you play with lots of
dynamics.
Transposing without
Changing Your Fingering
–Key Transpose
You can play in a different key-without changing the keys
you are playing. This function is called “Key Transpose.”
When you are accompanying a singer, you can use Key
Transpose to match the vocal pitch of the singer, allowing
you to transpose easily while using the same printed music
(keyboard fingering).
Key transpositions remain in effect until the keyboard’s
power is turned off.
1. While holding down the [Demo Song/Key
Touch] button, press the tonic (root) of the
key to which you want to transpose.
Use the C2–B2 notes to select the tonic.
fig.7-03
2. To return to the normal pitch, while holding
down the [Demo Song/Key Touch] button,
press the C2 key.
For example if you want the E pitch to sound when you play
the C key, you would hold down the [Demo Song/Key
Touch] button and press the E2 key.
