Touch Sensitivity Four different types of keyboard touch sensitivity - HARD, MEDIUM, SOFT or FIXED - can be selected to match different playing styles and preferences. TOUCH HARD MEDIUM SOFT To select a touch sensitivity type press the [TOUCH] button a few times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the indicators light in sequence each time the [TOUCH] button is pressed). HARD The HARD setting requires the keys to be played quite hard to produce maximum loudness. MEDIUM The MEDIUM setting produces a fairly "standard" keyboard response. This is the initial factory default setting. SOFT The SOFT setting allows maximum loudness to be produced with relatively light key pressure. FIXED (no indicator lit) All notes are produced at the same volume no matter how hard the keyboard is played. When the FIXED type is selected, the volume of notes played in the FIXED mode can be set by using the [-/NO] and [+/YES] buttons while the [TOUCH] button is held (the current volume level appears on the display). The volume range is from 1 through 127. The default setting is 64. NOTE • This setting does not change the weight of the keyboard. • The touch sensitivity type and volume set in the FIXED mode will become the common setting for all voices. Transposition The YDP-101's TRANSPOSE function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of 12 semitones (i.e. a maximum of one octave up or down). "Transposing" the pitch of the YDP-101 keyboard facilitates playing in difficult key signatures, and you can easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist. TRANSPOSE SONG SELECT -/ NO +/YES Use the [-/NO] or [+/YES] button while holding the [TRANSPOSE] button to transpose down or up as required. The transposition range is from "-12" (down one octave) through "0" (normal pitch) to "12" (up one octave). The amount of transposition appears on the LED display while the [TRANSPOSE] button is held. The default transpose setting is "0". NOTE • The [TRANSPOSE] button indicator remains lit when a transpose setting other than "0" is selected. • Notes below and above the A-1 ... C7 range of the YDP-101 sound one octave higher and lower, respectively. 18 YDP-101 16
