Touch Curve
When playing a piano, the volume of the sound produced increases in direct relation to how hard a
key is struck. The CP’s Normal Touch curve offers the standard feel of an acoustic piano for practicing
music. The CP offers five other touch curves ranging from light to heavy.
Normal This is the standard touch of an acoustic piano.
Light 1, 2 For those still developing finger strength, such as a child, a louder sound is
produced even when the piano is played with a soft touch. Light 2 is lighter than
Light 1.
Heavy 1, 2 Perfect for those with strong fingers. Requires a heavier touch to produce a loud
volume. Heavy 2 is heavier than Heavy 1.
Off A constant volume is produced regardless of how hard the keys are struck. This
setting is suitable for sounds that have a fixed dynamic range such as Organ or
Harpsichord.
• LIGHT and HEAVY do not represent the physical weight of the keys. These are settings that
affect the sensitivity of the keys, which determines the volume level in response to the key
movement.
L1 Selects the normal setting.
L2 Selects a moderately light touch.
L3 Selects a light touch.
L4 Selects a moderately heavy touch.
L5 Selects a heavy touch.
