Value 0–4
0–4
Value Setting Explanation
0 SUPER LIGHT An even lighter setting than LIGHT.
1 LIGHT
This sets the keyboard to a light touch. You can achieve fortissimo (ff) play with a less forceful touch than usual, so the keyboard feels lighter.
This setting makes it easy to play, even for children.
2
MEDIUM
(default)
This sets the keyboard to the standard touch. You can play with the most natural touch. This is the closest to the touch of an acoustic piano.
3 HEAVY
This sets the keyboard to a heavy touch. You have to finger the keyboard more forcefully than usual in order to play fortissimo (ff), so the
keyboard touch feels heavier. Dynamic fingering adds even more feeling to what you play.
4 SUPER HEAVY An even heavier setting than HEAVY.
