Setting the Touch Response of the Keyboard (Initial Touch)
NOTE
Some Voices are purposely
designed without Initial Touch,
in order to emulate the true
characteristics of the actual
instrument (for example,
conventional organs, which
have no touch response).
Touch
Curve
Determines how the sound responds to your playing strength.
• Normal: Standard Touch Response.
• Soft1: Produces high volume with moderate playing strength.
• Soft2: Produces relatively high volume even with light playing strength. Best for players
with a light touch.
• Hard1: Requires moderately strong playing for high volume.
• Hard2: Requires strong playing to produce high volume. Best for players with a heavy
touch.
Fixed
Velocity
Determines the velocity level when “Initial Touch” for any part is set to “Off”. In other
words, the volume is fixed to this level regardless of your playing strength.
Upper,
Lead,
Lower,
Pedal
Set Initial Touch on or off for each keyboard part assigned to the Upper Keyboard, Lower
Keyboard and Pedalboard. Initial Touch for “Lead” or “Pedal” cannot be set when
“Pedalboard” is assigned to that part via “Part Assign” located at the upper part of this
display. For details about part assignment, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.
