Yamaha PF-500 Manual Do Utilizador

You can make detailed settings for touch, tuning, scale, etc.

You can specify a touch response (how the sound 
responds to the way you play the keys).
See the procedure on page 63.

Light

 With a soft touch, the PF-500 produces a 
loud sound. The volume level of tones 
tends to be consistent.

Medium Standard touch response.
Heavy

You must hit the key very hard to gener-
ate a loud volume. This allows for versa-
tile expression, from pianissimo to 
fortissimo tones.

Fixed

No touch response. The volume level will 
be the same regardless of how hard you 
play the keys. Use the B [–]/[+] buttons 
to set the volume level.

You can fine tune the pitch of the entire instru-
