Selecting & Playing Voices Setting the Touch Sensitivity You can specify the Touch Sensitivity (how the sound responds to your playing strength). While holding down [GRAND PIANO/FUNCTION], each press of the G4 key switches the Touch Sensitivity setting in sequence: Fixed, Soft, Medium and Hard. Also, when Operation Confirmation Sounds is set to "On," the number corresponding to the setting of the Touch Sensitivity is spoken. To transpose the pitch up: While holding down [GRAND PIANO/FUNCTION], press the G6 key to increase by 1 semitone. To restore the original pitch: While holding down [GRAND PIANO/FUNCTION], press the F#6 key. F#6 (Original pitch) G4 F6 (-1) G6 (+1) G4 Touch Sensitivity Voice Confirmation Touch Sensitivity Description 0 Fixed The volume level does not change at all regardless of whether you play the keyboard soft or hard. 1 Soft The volume level does not change much when you play the keyboard soft or hard. 2 Medium This is the standard piano touch response (default setting). 3 Hard The volume level changes very widely from pianissimo to fortissimo to facilitate dynamic and dramatic expression. You have to hit the keys hard to produce a loud sound. NOTE The Touch Sensitivity settings may have little or no effect with the PIPE ORGAN and HARPSICHORD Voices, since these instruments are not normally responsive to keyboard dynamics. Transposing the Pitch in Semitones You can shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone in order to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, or to easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if "+5" is selected, playing key C produces pitch F, letting you play a song of F major as though it were in C major. Setting range: -6 - 0 - +6 To transpose the pitch down: While holding down [GRAND PIANO/FUNCTION], press the F6 key to decrease by 1 semitone. Fine-tuning the Pitch You can fine tune the pitch of the entire instrument in approximately 0.2 Hz increments. This lets you accurately match the keyboard pitch to that of other instruments or CD music. Setting range: 414.8 - 440.0 - 466.8 Hz To lower the pitch: While holding down [GRAND PIANO/FUNCTION], press the G#6 key repeatedly to lower the pitch in approximately 0.2 Hz increments. To raise the pitch: While holding down [GRAND PIANO/FUNCTION], press the A6 key repeatedly to raise the pitch in approximately 0.2 Hz increments. To set the pitch to A3 = 442 Hz: While holding down [GRAND PIANO/FUNCTION], press the A#6 key. To reset the pitch to the default (A3 = 440 Hz): While holding down [GRAND PIANO/FUNCTION], press the B6 key. G#6 (-0.2 Hz) A#6 (442.0 Hz) A6 (+0.2 Hz) B6 (440.0 Hz) 16 YDP-103 Owner's Manual
