10.2.2 Touch

This parameter adjusts the touch response curve of the keyboard.

Heavy+

This Curve has a steep rise as velocity increases, and a shallower curve at

low velocities. (see 1) This curve requires the most striking force to produce

a loud volume.

Heavy

This curve requires a stronger striking force to produce a loud volume. (see

2) This curve is perfect for those with strong fingers.

Normal

This curve recreates the touch response of an average acoustic piano.

Light

This curve requires less striking force to produce a loud volume. (see 4) This

curve is good for those still developing finger strength.

Light+

This curve requires the least amount of striking force to produce a loud

volume. (see 5) This curve is good for those with a very delicate touch.

Off

This curve gives a constant velocity level no matter how hard the keyboard

is struck. (see 6) This curve is suitable for sounds that have a fixed dynamic

range such as Organ, Harpsichord and certain synthesizer sounds.

Start playing
Soft ≥ Loud

piano analyze your playing style. Make sure that you really play in a realistic way
according to your finger power and feeling. Sometimes the result is better if you
turn off the volume first.

Press REC
when finished

Press the REC button again when you finish playing.

Analysis
Completed!!

The piano will analyze your playing and create a custom touch curve for you
based upon your playing style. The new curve is automatically saved and will be
