FUNCTION MODE

2) TOUCH TYPE

When playing a piano, the volume of the sound produced increases in direct relation to how hard each key is struck. The

TOUCH function allows different touch sensitivities for the keyboard to be selected, other than the standard touch of an

acoustic piano. The sensitivity can be changed to one of four different settings: Light, Normal, Heavy or Constant.

 Step 1

Press and hold the METRONOME and SOUND SELECT buttons simultaneously, then press the key
assigned to the TOUCH function.

 Step 2

While still holding down the METRONOME and SOUND
SELECT buttons, press one of the following keys:

 Key1: LIGHT

For those still developing fi nger strength, such as a

child, a louder sound is produced even when the piano

is played with a soft touch.

 Key2: NORMAL

The standard setting, reproducing the touch sensitivity of an acoustic piano. This touch type is selected automatically

when the CL36 digital piano is turned on.

 Key3: HEAVY

Perfect for those with strong fi ngers or for practicing with a hard touch.

 Key4: CONSTANT

This setting is suitable for sounds that have a fi xed dynamic range, such as Organ and Harpsichord. A constant

volume is produced regardless of how hard the keys are struck.

 The touch type is automatically set to NORMAL when the CL36 digital piano is turned on.

3) TRANSPOSE

The TRANSPOSE function allows the piano’s keys to be raised or lowered in half steps. This is particularly useful

when accompanying instruments with different tones, or when a song learned in one key must be played in another

key. The transpose feature allows the song to be played in the original key, but heard in another key.

 Step 1

Press and hold the METRONOME and SOUND SELECT buttons simultaneously, then press the key
assigned to the TRANSPOSE function.

 Step 2

While still holding down the METRONOME and
SOUND SELECT buttons, press a key on the
keyboard to select the desired transposed key.

 The CL36 digital piano can be transposed up to 5 half

steps higher (F) or 6 half steps lower (F#).

 The transpose value is set to 0 (C) when the CL36 digital piano is turned on.
 The transpose function can be turned off/on, retaining the set value, by using the ‘- (off)’ or ‘+ (on)’ keys.
