Question:
How can I adjust the instruments touch sensitivity?

Answer:

(manual ref. see “Function / Select Mode”.)

To set the keyboard’s “Velocity Sensitivity” parameter:

    1. Press the Select button. The button light will illuminate.

 

  1. Per the diagram below, strike a piano note from C#1 to D#2 to select one of the Touch Maps, 1-7:

Map 1 has the greatest dynamic range (allows for harder/heavier playing style). Map 7 has the least dynamic range (allows for easier/lighter playing style). The default selection is Map 4.

The Keyboard Touch setting is retained when the power is off.
