performances.

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.
