PRESET PROGRAMMING
KEY NUMBER
The Key Number is affected by the Keyboard Center parameter which can be set
to any key from C-2 to G8. The keyboard center establishes a reference point for
keyboard modulation; keys above this point will have a positive value, while keys
below it will be negative. For example, if we wished to change the volume of an
instrument using key number and the key center were set to key A1, the instru-
ment would get progressively louder above A1 and progressively softer below
A1.
VELOCITY CURVES
Incoming velocity values can be scaled by one of the four velocity curves or by
one of the eight Global velocity curves in order to match your playing style or
better adapt to the MIDI controller. Experiment with the curves to find the one
that works best for your style and MIDI controller.
