Value Description
1–100
The keyboard touch gets lighter as the value decreases, with the
touch becoming heavier as the value is increased.
Fix
The sound plays at a fixed volume, regardless of how forcefully
the keys are played.
You can save this setting in
the RG-3’s memory using the
Memory Backup function
(p. 73).
Fortissimo (ff) can be played with a lighter touch as the value is decreased, making
it feel like the keyboard has a lighter touch. This setting makes it easy to play, even
for children.
Increasing the value gives the instrument a heavier key touch. Fortissimo (ff) cannot
be produced unless you play more strongly than usual, making the keyboard feel
heavier. Dynamic fingering adds even more feeling to what you play.
A value of around 65 provides a standard setting, producing the most natural touch.
This is the closest to the touch of an acoustic piano.
