Basics Section Quick Guide Reference Touch Sensitivity Six different types of keyboard sensitivity can be selected to match different playing styles and preferences. 1 Press the [CONTROLLER] button to enter the Controller mode. 2 Use the [ ] and [ ] buttons to select the Fixed Vel screen (PAGE 6), then press the [DEC/NO] button to select "off." n When you play the keyboard at the same volume, enter the value of the velocity (volume). In this case, the step below is not necessary. 3 Use the [ ] button to select the Vel Curve screen (PAGE 5), then press the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons to select the desired setting (see below). 4 Press the [EXIT] button to exit from the Controller mode. norm (Normal) The velocity is in proportion to playing strength (how hard you play the keyboard). Volume soft1 This curve provides increased response, especially for lower velocities. In other words, playing softly results in higher response than the "norm" curve. Use this curve if you want greater control in the low velocity range. Keyboard playing strength Volume Keyboard playing strength soft2 This curve provides increased response, especially for lower velocities. In other words, playing softly results in higher response than the "norm" curve. Use this curve if you want greater control in the low velocity range; the response is between Soft1 and Normal. Volume Keyboard playing strength easy This curve is also designed to increase the volume level with a softer playing style. However, the volume level is stable in all registers since the velocity curve in the mid range is close to Normal. Volume Keyboard playing strength wide This setting provides opposite response curves for lower and higher velocities. It widens the apparent dynamic range of the controller, producing less sound change in the softer range and more change in the higher range. Volume Keyboard playing strength hard This curve effectively lessens the overall response compared to the "norm" curve. Use this curve if you tend to play strongly and want the sound change to be less sensitive. Volume Keyboard playing strength Appendix Touch Sensitivity 57
