TOUCH RESPONSE When playing a piano, the volume of the sound produced increases in direct relation to how hard a key is struck. The CP piano offers the realistic feel of an acoustic piano for practicing music. The touch response function simulates the standard touch of an acoustic piano when the LED of the TOUCH button is off. When the LED of the TOUCH button is lit, you can select other touch types as follows. Light 1 / 2 (Lt): LIGHT 1 For those still developing finger strength, such as a child, a louder sound is produced even when the piano is played with a soft touch. Light 2 is lighter than Light 1. ­ 15 ­ Heavy 1 / 2 (HE): Perfect for those with strong fingers or for practicing with a hard touch. For tone colors like organ or harpsichord, and for playing some contemporary music with the piano sound, a constant loud sound is produced regardless of your force on the keys. HEAVY 2 Off (OFF): OFF To change the touch type, press and hold the TOUCH button. While holding the TOUCH button, use the VALUE buttons to change the touch type.

However the tonality of each key becomes less characteristic and no chord is in pure consonance. Equal EQUAL TEMPERAMENT This is the most popular piano temperament. The hearing ability of a human is uneven and is not as accurate with high frequency and low frequency as it is with the middle range. This temperament's tuning is stretched to compensate for this so the sound will be heard naturally to the ears. [. . . ]
