Touch
As with an acoustic piano, the CS6 digital piano produces a louder sound when the keys are struck with force,
and a softer sound when the keys are played gently. The volume and tonal character change in relation to
the strength and speed of playing - on a digital piano this system is referred to as ‘touch sensitivity’.
The Touch setting allows the touch sensitivity of the keyboard to be conveniently adjusted. There are six
different preset touch curve settings available, with two additional ‘User’ settings allowing performers to
customise the instrument’s responsiveness to suit their playing style.
