2.Specify the respective settings.

Touch Response

You can use this function to vary the volume and sound quality according to how hard (quickly) keys are pressed, in the same way as a acoustic piano.

Duet

This function allows you to set the same range of notes for the right and left sides of the keyboard. Switch the function ON or OFF. Select “Pan” to switch on the Duet function. This sets the left side of the keyboard to play out of the left speaker and the right side of the keyboard to play out of the right speaker.

  • When the option 3-pedal unit (SP-34) is used, the center pedal can be used for both left and right keyboards. Only the pedal for the right side of the keyboard supports half-pedal operations.
  • If using the SP-3 pedal, connect it to the DAMPER PEDAL terminal or the EXPRESSION/ASSIGNABLE terminal to make it a shared damper pedal. This pedal acts as a damper pedal regardless of the type of pedal effect chosen. Not compatible with half-pedal use.

Duet: Octave Shift

This function configures octave shift for the left and right keyboards respectively.

Scale Type

Scale Base Note

Hammer Response

When set, it matches the sound timing of a grand piano, which varies slightly depending along the length of the keyboard.

Key Off Response

When set, the next note is articulated even when the key is pressed again before it has been fully released.

Transpose

This allows you to shift the key for the entire keyboard up or down in semitone increments.

Tap “+” to raise the pitch or “-” to lower it.

Tuning

This allows you to shift the overall pitch up or down in increments of 0.1 Hz from the standard pitch where A4 = 440 Hz.

Stretch Tuning

Sets a tuning method specific to acoustic pianos. Enabling this function tunes low-range tones lower than the normal equal tones and shifts high-range tones higher.

Keyboard Volume

Tap “+” to increase the volume or “-” to lower it.
