3
Play the keyboard.
The strength meter will light according to the
strength with which you play the keyboard.
The [PITCH BEND] wheel can be used to add
smooth pitch variations to notes you play on the key-
board. Roll the wheel upward to raise the pitch, or
downward to lower the pitch.
You can change the amount of pitch bend produced
by the wheel in the Function Settings (page 54, Func-
tion 003).
Changing the Touch Response of
the Keyboard
1 Soft
Produces relatively high volume even with
light playing strength. Best for players with a
light touch who want to maintain a consis-
tent, relatively loud volume.
2 Medium
Produces a fairly “standard” keyboard
response.
3 Hard
The keys must be played very strongly to
generate loud volume. This setting is best
for a wide dynamic range and optimum
expressive control of the sound, from pianis-
simo to fortissimo.
4 Fixed
All notes are produced at the same volume
no matter how hard the keyboard is played.
• When Touch Response is set to “Fixed,” the strength
meter is fixed at medium strength.
