TIP
Difference between “TouchResponse” and “TouchSense” in
the “VOICE EDIT” menu (page 66):
“TouchSense” specifies for each part how loud the sound is
produced. The Note On velocity data transmitted via MIDI is
always fixed, but the volume level changes.
“TouchResponse” specifies how sensitive the instrument is
in response to your key strokes. When you play the key-
board with a consistent force, the Note On velocity data
transmitted via MIDI change.
