This instrument can apply various Effects as listed
below to the instrument’s sound.
 DSP
The DSP (digital signal processor) is an effect in
which digital signal processing is applied to the
sound to change it.
When a Voice or Song that features a recommended
DSP processing is selected, the DSP effect is
applied to the Main Voice and Song part. DSP effect
has effect variations, called DSP types. Please refer

Changing the Touch Response of
the Keyboard
1Soft
Produces relatively high volume even with
light playing strength. Best for players with a
light touch who want to maintain a consis-
tent, relatively loud volume.
2Medium
Produces a fairly “standard” keyboard
response.
3Hard
The keys must be played very strongly to
generate loud volume. This setting is best
for a wide dynamic range and optimum
expressive control of the sound, from pianis-
simo to fortissimo.
4Fixed
All notes are produced at the same volume
no matter how hard the keyboard is played.
• When the Touch Response is “Fixed”, the strength meter
is at fixed medium strength.
