1 Light. Loud notes can be produced even by
playing lightly.
2 Normal. Normal piano touch.
3 Heavy. Loud notes can be produced only by
playing very hard.
The diagram below shows the relationship between
how hard you play the keyboard and how loud or soft
the notes will sound.
 Whentheinstrumentisturnedon,thetouchseingis

 Theseingsareappliedtoallsounds.
Transpose
Insomecases,asongmaybewrieninadicultkey(e.g.,
many black keys), or you may wish to shift the pitch to
match another instrument or vocalist. In such cases, you
can transpose (shift the pitch) so that you can use an easier
fingering, or use the same familiar fingering to play at a
dierentpitch.ThisiscalledtheTransposefunction.
You can shift within a range of 11 semitones so that when
transposing upward by one semitone, playing the notes
shown at the left produces the pitches shown at the right.
When the instrument is turned on, the transposing is
reset.
While holding down the TRANSPOSE button, press the
keyboard key (F#6–F7) for the desired transposition.
If a keyboard key other than C7 is pressed, the TRANS-
POSE button lights up to indicate that the keyboard is
transposed.
The pitch of the entire keyboard is transposed according
to the pitch of the pressed keyboard key in relation to C7.
