Velocity Curve
LIGHT
The keyboard will have a lighter-
feeling touch. Since you’ll be able
to reach fortissimo () without
having to play as strongly as with the
“MEDIUM” setting, the keyboard
will feel lighter. This setting makes it
easier for people with reduced nger
strength to play the keyboard.
MEDIUM
This is the standard keyboard touch
setting.
HEAVY
The key will have a heavier-feeling
touch. Since you’ll need to play more
strongly than with the “MEDIUM”
setting in order to reach fortissimo
(), the keyboard will feel heavier. This
setting allows you to use your playing
dynamics to add more expression to
your performances.
Keyboard
