Key Volume
The Key Volume setting allows the volume of different regions of the keyboard to be subtly reduced. There are four
different damping presets available, with an additional ‘User’ setting allowing players to perform subtle volume
adjustments on each individual key.
While the default ‘Normal’ key volume setting should be appropriate for a broad range of musical genres, it may be
desirable to experiment with different damping presets, or the User setting to attenuate or amplify the volume of
individual keys.
* This Virtual Technician setting will affect all sounds.
