Basic Operations
Touch Sensitivity determines how the sound responds to your playing strength. This
setting does not change the weight of the keyboard.
1
Call up the display via [Menu] → [Keyboard].
2
Make the settings by touching the display.
Maintaining the Left Voice (even when releasing the keys)
When the Left Hold function is set to “On” in the display above, the Left Voice is held
even when the keys are released. Nondecaying Voices such as strings are held
continuously, while decay-type Voices such as piano decay more slowly (as if the sustain
pedal has been pressed).
When the Left Hold is “On,” an “H” indication appears at the left side of the keyboard
illustration in the center of the Home display.
This function is convenient when used along with Style playback since the sound of the
chord matching Style playback is maintained. To stop the Left Voice which is sounding,
stop Style or Song playback, or set the Left Hold function to “Off.”
