Question about touch sensetivity on a Digital
on: May 16, 2006, 02:28:49 PM
I have a Yamaha CLP 220 and I was wondering wich touch sensetivity I should use to come as close as possible to an acoustic piano.


There are 4 touch sensetivity levels. 2 of them are already kinda useless imo; 1 of them has no change in dynamics/volume and the other almost doesn't have a change in dynamics/volume.

So, I have to choose between the other 2 levels. 1 of them is the standard level, if you switch on the CLP 220. It has quite some dynamic range etc, but playing loud goes easy too. With the last one you can create quite a lot of dynamics, but if you want to play  loud, you really have to smash the keys!


So, my question is: wich touch sensetivity is recommendable to use on my CLP 220?

the touch is really up to personal preference i guess. i prefer it a little firmer.
volume comes with getting the key down faster.
