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 () 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 nger the keyboard more
forcefully than usual in order to play fortissimo ( ), so the keyboard touch feels
heavier. Dynamic ngering adds even more feeling to what you play.
4 SUPER HEAVY An even heavier setting than HEAVY.
