7 KEY TOUCH (Key Touch section)
This adjusts how the volume and tone change in response to how hard the keys are played (velocity)
on the Grandstage X.
KEY TOUCH button: This switches the key touch function on/off.
KEY TOUCH slider: When you move this slider up from center position, you can more easily play
louder notes (in a fortissimo style) with greater stability. This is good for making the sound of the
Grandstage X stand out when you play in a band ensemble. When you move the slider down from cen-
ter position, you can play with a wider range of dynamics from a strong fortissimo to a delicate pia-
nissimo. This is suitable when intonation is important, such as piano solos and vocal accompaniment.
