Touch settings
The keyboard sensitivity, or touch, can be programmed.
With the "Light" setting, loud notes will be produced even
if the key is lightly pressed, and with the "Heavy" setting,
loud notes will not be produced unless the key is strongly
pressed.
To change the setting, hold down the TOUCH button and
press the + or – button beside the display.
Display Touch sensitivity
001 Light Loud notes can be produced even by pressing
lightly, which produces a brighter sound.
002 Normal Normal piano touch, recommended with
Poetry.
003 Heavy Loud notes can be produced only by pressing
hard, which makes it easier to produce soft
notes.
Since this allows for a more expressive per-
formance, it is intended for advanced players.
004 Stable Sensitivity variations are reduced, and a
relatively stable sound is produced.
This makes playing easy, even for beginners
and children.
005 Steady Steady notes are produced, like with an
organ, regardless of the force used to press
the key.
The diagram below shows the relationship between
how hard you press the key and how loud or quiet the
notes sound.

When the instrument is turned on, the touch setting is

The settings are applied to all sounds.
Transpose
In some cases, a song may be written in a difficult key (e.g.,
many black keys), or you may wish to shift the pitch to
match another instrument or vocalist. In such cases, you
can transpose (shift the pitch) so that you can use an easier
fingering, or use the same familiar fingering to play at a dif-
ferent pitch. This is called the Transpose function.
For example if you transpose upward by one semitone,
playing the notes shown at the lower left will produce the
pitches shown at the right.

While holding down the TRANSPOSE button, press the
keyboard key (F ♯ 6–F7) for the desired transposition.
If a keyboard key other than C7 is pressed, the TRANSPOSE
button lights up to indicate that the keyboard is transposed.
The pitch of the entire keyboard is transposed according to
the pitch of the pressed keyboard key in relation to C7.
To return to the original pitches, hold down the TRANS-
POSE button and press the C7 key.
The TRANSPOSE button turns off, and transposition is can-
celed.
