Some Handy Functions

Changing the Keyboard’s

Touch

You can change the touch sensitivity, or response of the keys.

The setting is at “Medium” when the F-100 is powered up.

3.

Press the [

(Metronome/Rhythm)] button or

the [Song] button.

Disabling Buttons

(Panel Lock)

Making the setting for the panel lock enables a state where
only piano play is possible, and all buttons are disabled.
As the settings are not changed, this is convenient for piano
performances.

1.

Before you switch on the power, turn the volume
down all the way by rotating the [Volume] knob.

2.

While holding down the [Piano] button, press
the [Power] switch to turn on the power.

3.

Adjust the volume.

Fingering the keyboard now produces a grand piano
sound. It will be not possible to switch to another sound.

To defeat the Panel Lock function, turn the volume
down to the minimum, and turn on the power once
again.

Descriptions

Piano

Fixed

Notes are sounded at an
unchanging volume level,
regardless of how lightly
or forcefully you finger
the keyboard.

E.Piano

Light

Fortissimo (ff) can be ob-
tained with weaker touch
than usual, so, you will
feel that the keyboard is
lighter. This setting makes
it easy to play, even for
children.

Harpsi-
chord

Medium

This is the most natural
touch for the keyboard.
This is the closest to the
touch of an acoustic piano.

Organ

Heavy

Fortissimo (ff) can be ob-
tained only with forceful
playing, so you will feel
that the keyboard is heavi-
er. Dynamic fingering
adds even more feeling to
what you play.
