Changing the playing feel of the keyboard
(KEY TOUCH)
Adjusting the keyboard feel
1. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the
[MENU] button.
The KEY TOUCH screen appears.
2. Move the cursor to “Velocity Curve”, and use the
value dial to change the setting.
Value Explanation
LIGHT
Sets the keyboard feel to respond with a lighter
touch. With this setting, you can achieve fortissimo
() levels by playing with a lighter touch than the
“MEDIUM” setting, so the keyboard action feels
lighter. This makes the keyboard easier to play for
players who have less strength in their hands.
MEDIUM
Sets the keyboard feel to respond with a standard
touch.
HEAVY
Sets the keyboard feel to respond with a heavier
touch. With this setting, the keys must be played with
more force than the “MEDIUM” setting to achieve
fortissimo () levels, so the keyboard action feels
heavier. This lets you play dynamic passages with
greater emotion.
MEMO
You can also adjust the key touch in greater detail, or make the
keys play at a constant volume regardless of how hard you play
them. For details, see SYSTEM EDIT > COMMON > KEY TOUCH in
the “Parameter Guide” (Roland website).

2. On the “KEY RANGE” tab page, move the cursor to

want to adjust the key range, and use the value dial
to change the setting.

limit beyond the lower limit, the other setting
changes to the same value.
