Detailed Settings for a Live Set (Live Set Edit)
Changing the Key Touch (Key Touch)
The setting below allows you to adjust the response you get from
the keyboard when you nger the keys.
1. In the Live Set Edit Menu screen, select “Key Touch” and
press the [ENTER] button (p. 28).
2. Select the parameter that you want to edit, and use the
[DEC] [INC] buttons or the value dial to edit the value.
Parameter Value Explanation
Key Touch
SUPER
LIGHT
An even lighter setting than LIGHT.
LIGHT
Sets the keyboard to a light touch. You can
achieve fortissimo () play with a less forceful
touch than MEDIUM, so the keyboard feels
lighter. This setting makes it easy to play, even
for children.
MEDIUM
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.
HEAVY
Sets the keyboard to a heavy touch. You have
to nger the keyboard more forcefully than
MEDIUM in order to play fortissimo (), so
the keyboard touch feels heavier. Dynamic
ngering adds even more feeling to what
you play.
SUPER
HEAVY
An even heavier setting than HEAVY.
Key Touch Oset
-10–+9
This setting provides even more precise
adjustment of the key touch than available
with the Key Touch setting alone.
The touch sensitivity becomes heavier as the
value increases.
When this parameter is set to a value that
exceeds the upper or lower limit, the setting
for Key Touch (one of ve possible values) is
automatically changed to accommodate the
value you’ve specied.
Velocity
REAL
Volume levels and the way sounds are played
change in response to the velocity.
1–127
Regardless of how strongly you play the
keyboard, volume levels and the way sounds
are played always reect the xed velocity
value you specify here.
Velo Delay Sens
-63–+63
As the value is decreased, the timing of the
sound is delayed more when more force is used
to play the keys. As the value is increased, the
timing of the sound is delayed more when less
force is used to play the keys.
Velo Key Follow
Sens
-63–+63
As the value is increased, the touch becomes
heavier in the upper registers, and lighter in the
lower registers.
Key O Position
STANDARD
Note-o occurs at the key depth of a
conventional piano.
DEEP
Note-o occurs at a deeper position. This is
suitable for electric piano sounds.

the [ENTER] button (p. 28).
2. Select the parameter that you want to edit, and use the
[DEC] [INC] buttons or the value dial to edit the value.
