Touch Sensitivity

Four different types of keyboard touch sensitivity -- HARD, MEDIUM, SOFT or FIXED -- can be selected to match different playing styles and preferences. 

To select a touch sensitivity type press the [TOUCH] button a few times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the indicators light in sequence each time the [TOUCH] button is pressed).

HARD
The HARD setting requires the keys to be played quite hard to produce maximum loudness.

MEDIUM
The MEDIUM setting produces a fairly "standard" keyboard response. This is the initial factory default setting.

SOFT
The SOFT setting  allows maximum loudness to be produced with relatively light key pressure.

FIXED (no indicator lit)
All notes are produced at the same volume no matter how hard the keyboard is played. 
When the FIXED type is selected, the volume of notes played in the FIXED mode can be set by using the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons while the [TOUCH] button is held (the current volume level appears on the display). The volume range is from 1 through 127. The default setting is 80.

NOTE
This setting does not change the weight of the keyboard.
The touch sensitivity type and volume set in the FIXED mode will become the common setting for all voices. However, the touch sensitivity settings may have little or no effect with certain voices which are not normally responsive to keyboard dynamics (Refer to the "Voice Descriptions" on page 38).

Transposition

The YPP-100's TRANSPOSE function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of 12 semitones (i.e. a maximum of one octave up or down). "Transposing" the pitch of the YPP-100 keyboard facilitates playing in difficult key signatures, and you can easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist.

Use the [minus/NO] or [plus/YES] button while holding the [TRANSPOSE] button to transpose down or up as required. The transposition range is from "minus 12" (down one octave) through "0" (normal pitch) to "12" (up one octave). The amount of transposition appears on the LED display while the [TRANSPOSE] button is held. The default transpose setting is "0".

NOTE
The [TRANSPOSE] button indicator remains lit when a transpose setting other than "0" is selected.
If the transposed note exceeds the A-1 ... 0C7 range, the note will be sounded one octave higher or lower.
