8.2.2 Touch
This parameter adjusts the touch response curve of the keyboard.
Heavy+: This Curve has a steep rise as velocity increases, and a shallower
curve at low velocities. (see 1) This curve requires the most striking
force to produce a loud volume.
Heavy:
This curve requires a stronger striking force to produce a loud
volume. (see 2) This curve is perfect for those with strong fingers.
Normal: This curve recreates the touch response of an average acoustic
piano.
Light:
This curve requires less striking force to produce a loud volume.
(see 4) This curve is good for those still developing finger strength.
Light+:
This curve requires the least amount of striking force to produce a
loud volume. (see 5) This curve is good for those with a very delicate
touch.
Off:
This curve gives a constant velocity level no matter how hard the
keyboard is struck. (see 6) This curve is suitable for sounds that
have a fixed dynamic range such as Organ, Harpsichord and certain
synthesizer sounds.
User1,2: You can create your own custom touch curve to fit your playing
style. Two user touch curves can be saved.
User Touch
The touch curve is the main component between the action and the sound.
With this User Touch Curve function you can customize the MP4 according
to your personal playing style.
After selecting the “Touch” function by pressing the MENU buttons, use the
VALUE buttons to select User 1 or User 2. Now the selected curve is
activated.
To create your own personal touch curve press the STORE button.
Now start playing the piano dynamically from soft to loud in order to let the
piano analyze your playing style. Make sure that you really play in a realistic
way according to your finger power and feeling. Sometimes the result is
better if you turn off the volume first.
Press the STORE button again when you finish playing.
