Detailed Settings for Each Function
Changing the Key Touch (Key Touch)
The setting below allows you to adjust the response you get from the
keyboard when you finger the keys.
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 MEDIUM, 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 MEDIUM 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.
MEMO
• This setting will change automatically depending on the Key Touch
Offset setting described below.
Making Fine Adjustments to the Keyboard
Touch (Key Touch Offset)
This setting provides even more precise adjustment of the key touch
than available with the Key Touch setting alone.
Here you can make additional detailed adjustments to the playing
response of the keyboard.
Parameter Value Description
Key Touch Offset -10–+9
The touch sensitivity becomes
heavier as the value increases.
MEMO
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
automatically changed to accommodate the value you’ve specified.
Setting a Constant Volume Level in Response
to the Playing Force (Velocity)
This sets the sound to play at a fixed volume, regardless of the strength
used to play the keyboard (the velocity).
Parameter Value Description
Velocity
REAL
Volume levels and the way
sounds are played change in
response to the velocity.
1–127
Regardless of how strongly you
play the keyboard, the volume
or character of the sound will be
fixed at the velocity you specify.
Changing the Timing of Sounds in Response
to the Velocity (Velo Delay Sens)
This sets the interval from the time the key is played to when the
sound is produced.
Parameter Value Description
Velo Delay Sens (Veloc-
ity Delay Sensitivity)
-63–+63
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.
Changing the Touch Sensitivity According to
the Key Range (Velo Keyflw Sens)
This setting changes the touch sensitivity according to the key range
being used.
Parameter Value Description
Velo Keyflw Sens
(Velocity Keyfollow
Sensitivity)
-63–+63
As the value is increased, the
touch becomes heavier in the
upper registers, and lighter in the
lower keys.
Specifying the Note-off Keyboard Depth
(Key Off Position)
Parameter Value Description
Key Off Position
STANDARD
Note-off will occur at the key
depth of a conventional piano.
DEEP
Note-off will occur at a deeper
position. This is suitable for
electric piano sounds.
