While the VersaKey Series models support the use of external pedals, many available
pedals send an open-signal by default or a closed-signal by default. Using software, it’s
possible to change the polarity so that the VersaKey provides the option of inverting the
incoming signal.
Press the Edit button then press the C Pedal Pol button to switch the polarity. This LED
screen will display ‘ON’ to confirm that the polarity has been switched. When active, this
function is applied to both pedal inputs at the same time. If one of the two connected pedals
is not having the desired effect, it’s usually also possible to invert the signal of the pedal via
a switch fitted on the pedal itself.
Shift Button Groups (1-8 / 9-16)
The rotary knobs and drum pads are divided into 2 groups in a kind of layer system. The
upper layer is active by default (1 to 8) and the lower layer (9 to 16) can be activated using
the Shift Button Group function.
Press the Edit button then press the Shift button to activate the lower layer.
Pad Options
The VersaKey Series models provide drum pads that can be used to perform functions like
controlling a software sampler. Because of how these pads work, they can also be ‘played’
in a much more expressive way than by simply shifting a fader or turning a knob. The more
pressure that is applied to a pad, the higher the MIDI value that is sent. Each drum pad can
control a specific MIDI function. Most software offers MIDI Learn functionality so that a
specific pad can be linked to a specific function with ease.
Pad Curve
The Pad curve determines how a pad reacts; the MIDI value sent, and the resulting output.
Just like the keys, the Pad curve is set using specific presets. The selected preset is applied
to every pad and cannot be selected per individual pad. The different Pad curves are
included below. Each has their own characteristic assent between the applied pressure and
the output value.
