An Example of External Velocity Morph
1. Select a Program for slot A.
2. Edit the Program so that you get a morphing effect you like when you move the modulation wheel.
It is not actually necessary to assign the velocity programming to the Modulation wheel, but it is a prac-
tical way to try out the effect before you apply it via MIDI.
3. Hold down Shift and press MIDI Ch. Set the MIDI Channel for slot A to 1.
4. Press each of the other Program slot buttons and set them to MIDI Channel 16.
This is just to make sure they do not get used in this example.
5. Hold down Shift and press Special.
6. Press the Special button until the left digit in the display is “5”.
7. Make sure Program Slot A is selected. Otherwise press its button.
8. Use the Up/Down buttons to set the value to “1” (“on”).
9. Press Store. Use the Up/Down buttons to select MIDI Channel “2”.
10. Press Store again and adjust to “– –” (any MIDI note number).
11. Press Store again.
12. Make sure all other Special functions are turned off for this slot.
Do this by pressing the Special button repeatedly and check that the left digit in the display is set to “–”
for all Functions except “F”.
13. Press Shift again to return to “normal mode”.
If you play the keyboard now, there will not be any velocity control because you have set the instrument
up to only do this via MIDI.
14. Set up your sequencer to play a sequence of notes with drastically different velocity values.
The pitches of the notes does not matter, only the rhythm and velocity.
15. Hold down a few keys on the keyboard and start the sequencer.
The sound should now vary in character with the velocity values coming out from the sequencer.
Aftertouch and Expression Pedal Settings
The Special menu also contains settings for Aftertouch (“t”) and Expression pedal (“E”) parameter assign-
ment. These functions are described in their respective contents on page 17 (Expression pedal) and page
67 (Aftertouch).
