As with an acoustic piano, the CE220 digital piano produces a louder sound when the keys are struck with force, and
a softer sound when the keys are played gently. The volume and tonal character change in relation to the strength
and speed of playing – on a digital piano this system is referred to as ‘touch sensitivity’.
The Touch setting allows the touch sensitivity of the keyboard to be conveniently adjusted. There are six different
preset touch types available, with the ‘User’ setting allowing performers to create their own unique touch type.
