FUNCTIONS
TOUCH MODE
This Keyboard offers four types of keyboard touch sensitivity settings:
Soft, Normal, Hard and Fixed
These are also known as Velocity sensitivity settings and can help you to suit this
keyboard to your playing style.
The Normal setting is selected automatically when the piano is turned on.
Hard is the most sensitive keyboard response which permits maximum
sound levels with a light touch.
Normal is an intermediate response suitable for most styles of music.
Normal is the default setting.
Soft is a less sensitive keyboard response which requires a heavier
touch to obtain maximum sound levels.
Fixed does not offer any touch sensitivity. Each key plays at full
volume no matter how hard the piano key is hit.
It is commonly used on Harpsichord and Organ voices.

This piano features a three track recorder that let you record what you play on
the keyboard and then play it back. Three Tracks mean that you can “overdub”
one part on top of another, using a different voice if you like. The recorder
feature is a useful adjunct to any keyboard study program, since it lets you hear
exactly how you sound from the listener’s perspective. It can also be just plain
fun.
This Recorder is able to store four songs, each with up to a 3-track recording.
This recorded information is nonvolatile and therefore will not be lost when the
power is turned off. All 3 tracks can playback separately or together as a com-
plete song.

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. This is a world wide
standard communication interface that enables electronic musical instruments
and computers (of all brands) to communicate with each other so that instruc-
tions and other data can pass between them. This exchange of information
makes it possible to create a system of MIDI instruments and devices that offers
far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated instruments.
Whether you interface with computers, sequencers, expanders or other key-
boards your musical horizons will be greatly enhanced. For further information
