Various Settings
This setting specifies what the key transpose will affect.
You can use the key transpose to change the pitch of both the
song and the keyboard, the pitch of only the song, or the pitch
of only the keyboard.

Key Transpose (p. 32), Playback Transpose (p. 49)
1.
Hold down the [Brilliance] button and press
the [3D] button.
The display will indicate “Fnc” and you’ll be in Function
mode.
2.

You can change the pitch of the Tone 2 in Dual Play (p. 35)
and Left-hand tone in Split Play (p. 37) an octave at a time.
Altering the pitch in one-octave units in this way is called
“Octave Shift.”
For example, you can raise the pitch of the Left-hand Tone to
the same pitch of the Right-hand Tone in Split Play.
1.
Hold down the [Brilliance] button and press
the [3D] button.
The display will indicate “Fnc” and you’ll be in Function
mode.
2.
Press the [
Split
] button.
The display will indicate “Oct” and then the value of the
setting will appear.
3.
Use the [-] [+] buttons to change the setting.
The range of available pitch change spans from two octaves
higher to two octaves lower.
The pitch is lowered one octave each time the [-] button is pressed,
while each press of the [+] button raises the pitch by one octave.
To return to the original pitch, press the [-] and [+] buttons
simultaneously.
This adjusts how your playing strength will affect the timing at which
the note sounds. This is called the “Hammer Response” function.
On an acoustic piano, pressing a key moves a hammer, which
strikes a string to produce sound. If you press the key softly,
the hammer will move slowly, meaning that it will take slightly
longer (in comparison to a strongly-played note) from the
moment you press the key until the sound is produced.
If the Hammer Response function is turned on, the time
between the moment you press a key until the sound is heard
will change depending on the strength with which you play.
As you play more softly, this time will become longer.
1.
Hold down the [Brilliance] button and press
the [3D] button.
The display will indicate “Fnc” and you’ll be in Function
mode.
2.
Press the [Key Touch] button.
The display will indicate “HrS” and then the value of the
setting will appear.
3.
Use the [-] [+] buttons to change the setting.

This adjusts the time from when you play a
key until the piano sound is heard. Higher
settings will produce slower response.
If this is OFF, the sound will be heard as soon
as you strike the key, regardless of how
strongly you strike it.
