1. Press the PEDAL CURVE key on the keyboard. The LED will show the currently
selected curve value.
2. Next, input the desired curve value (1-127) with the NUMERIC keys, and press
ENTER. The
LED will show “don” (done) to confirm that the new
curve value has
been selected.
3. Now try playing the keyboard while using the pedal in order to see what the
selected Pedal Curve value feels like. If you want to audition additional curve
values, enter KEYBOARD MULTI FUNCTION mode again and repeat from step 1.
You can also select new Pedal Curve values by assigning advanced controller #159
(Pedal
Curve) to one of the keyboard’s physical controls, such as the

BUTTONS, a
KNOB or the SLIDER.
To enable Pedal Curve value selection from a physical control, enter KEYBOARD
MULTI FUNCTION mode by pressing EDIT, then complete the following steps:
1. Press the ASSIGN key on the keyboard. The LED will display CHO, asking you to
“choose” the
physical control you want to use.
2. Move the desired physical controller (For example, if you want to assign the Pedal
Curve adjustment to the SLIDER, move the SLIDER), and then the LED will show
the current MIDI Control Number of the selected controller.
3. Next, input the advanced controller #159 (Pedal Curve) with the NUMERIC keys,
and press ENTER. The
LED will show “don” (done) to confirm that the
Pedal
Curve selection has been enabled.
4. Now, adjust the Pedal Curve values (0-127) while you play a sound from the
keyboard. When you have finished adjusting the curve, you can reassign the
physical controller to do something else.
When adjusting the Pedal Cur
ve, it’s a good idea to use a familiar sound that responds to
pedal control, so you can hear how it reacts to your playing. The pedal should be
assigned to an easily audible sound modulation such as Pitch or Volume, and then you
can make your adjustments. The Pedal MIDI CC is fixed to #64 (Sustain), but it may be
possible to reassign this controller message in your music creation software. Please
consult your software’s instruction manual for more information on this subject.
6.8 RPN & NRPN
RPN and NRPN messages help expand the MIDI universe, allowing the implementation
of new MIDI controllers. RPN stands for “Registered Parameter Number” and
conforms to the MIDI specification, while NRPN stands for “Non
-Registered Parameter
Number” and is defined by each m
anufacturer. Therefore, how an NRPN behaves can
be different for each manufacturer, or even for each device. Either way, these controllers
are your gateways to access whole new ranges of MIDI controls, provided those
