Roland ep-95 - Key Touch: Velocity Sensitivity; About the Pedals

Note: The transposition interval will also be canceled
when you switch off the ep-95/ep-85/ep-75.
Key Touch: velocity sensitivity (ow ep25
If your ep-95 is a family instrument, your chil-
dren may have problems getting the notes to
sound at the desired volume. Velocity sensitivity
(or Key Touch) is a learned term to describe how
an electronic instrument interprets the speed or
force at/with which you strike the keys.
To accommodate all playing styles, the ep-95 fea-
tures two buttons that allow you to apply differ-
ent translations to the way the keys are pressed:
KEY TOUCH
LIGHT HEAVY
For young children, you may want to press KEY
TOUCH [LIGHT] (indicator lights). In that case,
even relatively softly played notes will be trans-
lated as “forte”.
Persons who are used to playing on a heavy key-
board should press KEY TOUCH [HEAVY] (indi-
cator must light).
To return to normal velocity sensitivity, press the
same button ([LIGHT] or [HEAVY]) again so that
its indicator goes dark.
Note: At power-on, the ep-95 will return to normal Key
Touch (both indicators off).
About the pedals
The ep-95/ep-85/ep-75 accommodates the use of
two pedals: the Damper pedal, and the Soft ped-
al.
The ep-95 comes with a pedal unit built into its
stand, one DP-6 pedal is supplied with the ep-85
while one DP-2 pedal is suplied with the ep-75.
(You may wish to purchase a second pedal to
take advantage of the Soft function.)
See “Connections/ powering up” for how to con-
nect the pedals. Here is what they do:
Damper: sustains the notes you are playing at the
time you press the pedal. All subsequent notes
will also be sustained for as long as you keep the
pedal depressed.
Soft: reduces the volume of the notes you play.
This may be useful for playing baroque music
with the HARPSICHORD sound or any classical
piano piece.
