TOUCH
The RP220 offers three different keyboard responses, or “velocity curves”,
which affect the instrument as a whole. Every time you turn on the
instrument, the “NORMAL” curve is set automatically. Two other curves
are available: Soft and Hard.
Pressing the TOUCH button (in the Control section) activates a temporary
display showing 3 velocity curves to choose from. The selected option is
shown in negative highlight:
Soft : this is useful for a player with a lighter touch or some-
body more accustomed to a synth action keyboard. It
requires only a relatively soft touch to achieve maximum
volume.
Normal : This setting most accurately represents the touch re-
sponse of a piano.
Hard : This setting is for “stronger” players. It requires a fairly
powerful touch to achieve maximum volume.
Use the Cursor Up/Down buttons to select the various curves; the
selection menu is cyclic.
The selected response curve remains in memory until changed again, or
until you turn the instrument off. Turning on again will restore the
NORMAL setting.
