4. Turn the Parameter knob until the display shows:

System Preferences:

Touch Curve= Table-1

The current Touch Curve value

5. Turn the Value knob or press the up/down arrow buttons to set the Touch Curve parameter to the

value that best matches your playing style. Play some music at each setting to find the value that

feels the most comfortable for your style of playing.

The Touch Curve values that begin with ÒFixedÓ will cause every key to play at the same velocity, no

matter how hard or soft you play.

This parameter affects the way your ZR-76 responds to velocity internally, as well

as the velocity values it transmits via MIDI.

ÕÕ

Some of the sounds in the ZR-76 respond to the Channel Pressure messages produced by the ZRÕs

keyboard when you press down on its keys at the bottom of their travel. ItÕs a good idea to customize your

ZRÕs pressure settings so that you can activate channel pressure without either doing so inadvertently, or

with too much difficulty.

The Press Threshold parameter allows you to adjust the pressure of the keyboard to match your playing

style and technique. The pressure threshold can be varied between SOFT (minimum force required to

bring in pressure) and HARD (maximum force required to bring in pressure).

¥ SOFTÑis for someone with a light touch. With this setting, a minimum amount of pressure is

required to reach the maximum level of any pressure-controlled parameter.

¥ MEDÑrequires slightly harder pressing to reach maximum pressure levels. This is the default

setting.

¥ FIRMÑrepresents average pressure sensitivity. A FIRM setting should be right for the player with an

average touch.

¥ HARDÑis for the strong player who presses the keys hard. It allows the widest possible range of

pressure sensitivity.

Start with the default settings, then go up or down to find your optimal setting.

When you change any system setting, ZR-76 operations will pause momentarily

to store your settings into FLASH memory.
