Playing in Piano Mode
Adjusting the Keyboard Touch
(Key Touch)
You can vary the touch of the keyboard when you play the
keys.
1. In the Piano Mode screen press [3 (Key Touch)].
fig.PM05_50
2. The window will open when you press [3 (Key Touch)], and
the value will change each time you press [3 (Key Touch)].
• 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 easier for children,
whose hands have less strength.
• Medium: This sets the keyboard to the standard touch. You can
play with the most natural touch. This setting is closest to the
response of an acoustic piano.
• Heavy: This sets the keyboard to a heavy touch. You have to
play the keyboard more forcefully than usual in order to play
fortissimo (ff), so the keyboard touch feels heavier. This setting
allows you to add more expression when playing dynamically.
Adjusting the Depth of
Resonance (Resonance)
When you hold down the damper pedal on an acoustic piano, the
strings (notes) you play will cause the other strings to resonate
sympathetically, creating a rich and spacious resonance. You can
adjust the depth of this resonance.
1. From the Piano Mode screen, press [4 (Resonance)].
fig.PM06_50
2. Either turn the VALUE dial or use [INC] [DEC] to set the
value.
Adjusts the depth of resonance (0–127). Set this to 0 if you do not
want to apply resonance.
Saving a Sound (Patch)
Changes you make to sound settings are temporary, and will be lost
if you turn off the power or select another sound. If you want to keep
the modified sound, you must save it in the internal USER group
(user memory). Refer to “Saving Patches You’ve Created (Write)”
(p. 42).
