Learning How to Use “Touch” Control
(Touch Tutor)
This learning feature lets you practice how hard or soft to play the keys for musical
expression, referred to as “Touch” in this chapter, by playing back Song numbers 103 to
112 (in the “Touch Tutor” category). Playing back Songs from this category shows indi-
cations for the appropriate playing strength. Try playing according to the level dis-
played in the LCD as the Song progresses.

Select a Song from Song numbers 103 to
112 in the “Touch Tutor” category by
executing Step 1 in “Selecting and Play-
ing Back a Song” on page 31.
To play with the same Voice that is used in a per-
formance data, select Voice number “000” (OTS;
page 16). After this operation, please make sure

Strength targets are indicated by “ ”.
Your actual playing “Touch” is indicated by “ .”
Try playing so that the indications below appear
(as target values) while you play.
The positions of “ ” and “ ” are displayed with
a gap when your touch is softer or harder than
the target value.

(Target value: medium, your touch: hard)
Your touch is same as the target value
(Target value: medium, your touch: medium)
Your touch is softer than the target value
(Target value: medium, your touch: soft)
When the playing is accurate, the instrument
evaluates the accuracy of the touch (velocity) and
indicates the following evaluation results on the
display. If you continue to play the keys accu-
rately, your grade will gradually increase. If you
continue to play the keys inaccurately, your grade
will gradually decrease.
