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-50 is powered up.
fig.03-01
1. Press the [Light] button or the [Heavy] button.
The indicator for the selected button lights.
When the [Light] button is pressed, the button’s
indicator lights up and the keyboard is set to a “light”
touch. When the [Heavy] button is pressed, the button’s
indicator lights up and the keyboard is set to a “heavy”
touch.
When the [Light] and [Heavy] buttons are pressed
simultaneously, both the [Light] and [Heavy] button
indicators light, and the key touch is set to “Fixed.”
Press either the [Light] or [Heavy] button once more to
turn off both button indicators and return the key touch
setting to “Medium.”
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. Turn the volume down all the way by rotating the
[Volume] knob, and press the [Power] switch to
turn off the power.
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.

Medium
This is the most natural
touch for the keyboard. This
is the closest to the touch of
an acoustic piano.
lit unlit
Light
Fortissimo (ff) can be
obtained with weaker touch
than usual, so, you will feel
that the keyboard is lighter.
This setting makes it easy to
play, even for children.
unlit lit
Heavy
Fortissimo (ff) can be
obtained only with forceful
playing, so you will feel that
the keyboard is heavier.
Dynamic fingering adds
even more feeling to what
you play.
lit lit
Fixed
Notes are sounded at an
unchanging volume level,
regardless of how lightly or
forcefully you finger the
keyboard.
