To select a touch sensitivity setting press the [REVERB] button a few
times while holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button until the indicator
corresponding to the desired setting lights.
Three different types of keyboard touch sensitivity — HARD, MEDIUM or SOFT — can
be selected to match different playing styles and preferences. The different touch sensitivity
settings are selected by using the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] and [REVERB] buttons.
HARD (ROOM indicator) ........... The HARD setting requires the keys to be played quite hard to
produce maximum loudness.
MEDIUM (HALL 1 indicator) ...... The MEDIUM setting produces a fairly “standard” keyboard
response. This is the initial factory default setting.
SOFT (HALL 2 indicator) ........... The SOFT setting allows maximum loudness to be produced
with relatively light key pressure.

TRANSPOSE
The [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button and keys F#2 through F#3 on the keyboard are used for transposition.
Z
Press and hold the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
X
Press a key between F#2 and F#3 according to the desired amount of
transposition.*
C
Release the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
* Pressing the C3 key produces normal keyboard pitch. Pressing the key to
the left of C3 (B2) transposes the pitch of the keyboard down a semitone,
the next key to the left (Bb2) transposes down a whole tone (two semi-
tones), etc., down to the F#2 key which transposes down 6 semitones.
Upward transposition is accomplished in the same way using the keys to
the right of C3, up to F#3 which transposes up 6 semitones.
The Clavinova’s TRANSPOSE function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire key-
board up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of six semitones. “Transposing” the
pitch of the Clavinova 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.
