KBD Touch Button

Post by WORSHIP_KEYS »

I have noticed that all nord products have a KBD touch button. I mainly play worship musci for my church and I was wondering if I should use the soft/mid/bright switch to adjust between soft and brighter songs, or use the KBD touch button. What is the default best setting for the KBD touch? What do you guys use it for?

KBD Touch sets the dynamic curve of the piano section only (what in other instruments you find as "Key Touch with values like Normal/Heavy/Light)

Depending on the model the curves may vary, but in general for acoustic pianos you can use the 0 (no leds lit) setting or 1 (Lighter) while 2/3 (even Lighter) are more for Rhodes/Wurlies.

Note: manual is your friend, reading it helps (it explains also what the piano EQ does, which is pretty different from KBD Touch)
