Explanation
The sound plays at one set volume, regard-
less of the force used to play the keys.
This setting produces the lightest keyboard
touch.
You can achieve fortissimo (ff ) play with a
less forceful touch than "medium, " so the
keyboard feels lighter. This setting makes it
easy to play, even for children.
This sets the standard keyboard touch. You
can play with the most natural touch. This is
the closest to the touch of an acoustic piano.
You have to fi nger the keyboard more
forcefully than "medium" in order to play
fortissimo (ff ), so the keyboard touch feels
heavier. Dynamic fi ngering adds even more
feeling to what you play.
This setting produces the heaviest keyboard
touch.
Adding Reverberation to Sounds
