You can adjust the keyboard touch as appropriate for the playing strength of the person who is performing. Setting FIX (Fixed) L+ (Super Light) Explanation The sound plays at one set volume, regardless of the force used to play the keys. You can achieve fortissimo (ff ) play with a less forceful touch than usual, so the keyboard feels lighter. You have to finger the keyboard more forcefully than usual in order to play fortissimo (ff ), so the keyboard touch feels heavier. This setting produces the heaviest keyboard touch. Adjusting the Tuning (TEMPRMNT) You can play classical music such as baroque pieces using their original tuning. Most modern songs are composed and played with the assumption that equal temperament (the most common tuning in use today) will be used, but when classical music was composed, there were a wide variety of other tuning systems in existence. Playing a composition with its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the chords that the composer originally intended. Setting EQU (Equal) MAJ (Just(Major)) MIN (Just(Minor)) ARB (Arabic) KIRN (Kirnberger) MEAN (Meantone) PYTH (Pythagorean) WERC (Werckmeister) Explanation In this tuning, each octave is divided into twelve equal steps. It is unsuited to playing melodies and cannot be transposed, but is capable of beautiful sonorities. You can get the same effect with the minor scale as with the major scale. This is an improvement of the Meantone and Just tunings that provides a high degree of freedom of modulation. This scale makes some compromises in just intonation, enabling transposition to other keys. This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths and fifths.
