My wife (who is the player) and I recently received our new purchase of a CVP208. After taking a few days to understand the various functions and settings, we are still experiencing some difficulties.
One of the more important concerns to my wife concerns the KEYBOARD TOUCH SENSITIVITY adjustment. The piano we traded in was a 1997 model CLP411. That model had a very simple one button adjustment to choose a hard, soft, or normal setting - and on this model the adjustment had a pronounced and obvious impact (with my wife preferring the soft setting so that she was not required to strike the keys with as much force). But on our new CVP208, even when we make the corresponding keyboard touch adjustments - we cannot honestly perceive any detectable change at all? My wife visited the site of where the purchase was made and spoke to a salesman. But even on their floor model, neither my wife nor the salesman could perceive any difference after the settings were changed.
My request: Would any of you who own a 207-210 mind checking your pianos and seeing if the Touch Sensitivity adjustment seems to make a difference? Is there perhaps something we are missing such as some additional step or setting that has to be considered? Any help would be appreciated.
Note: The steps we have followed to access this setting is to first hit the 'function' button, then choose 'controller', then selecting 'keyboard/panel', and then using the up/down arrows to adjust the touch. Try comparing hard2 down to soft2. In our case we cannot tell a difference?
