25.6.3 Assignments for Key Zones
The assignments described here are valid for the Key Zones defined for the KOMPLETE KON-
TROL S-SERIES keyboards. For more info on defining Key Zones for your keyboard, please re-
For Key Zones, the
Type
menu offers the following entries:
Note Range
and
Off
.
▪
Note Range: Sends MIDI Note On/Off messages. These messages are sent over a specific
MIDI channel set by the
Channel
parameter (range from 1 to 16, 1 by default). It tells your
target to play/stop the note corresponding to the key you press/release on your keyboard,
shifted by the
Transpose
value. The velocity at which the note is played depends on how
hard you hit the key and the velocity curve selected in the
Velocity
menu. The
Velocity
menu provides following curves:
◦
Soft 3
,
Soft 2
,
Soft 1
: Velocities you play on the keyboard will be amplified.
Soft 3
is
the most extreme setting: The softest hit on the key will be already audible.
◦
Linear
(default): Velocities you play on your keyboard will be transmitted “as is” to the
target.
◦
Hard 1
,
Hard 2
,
Hard 3
: Velocities you play on the keyboard will be attenuated.
Hard 3
is the most extreme setting: You will have to hit your keys with (quite a lot of)
force to hear the corresponding notes.
◦
Fixed to Max
: Whichever strength you use to hit the keys, the resulting notes will have
the maximum velocity (127).
▪
Off: As for any other control element, this simply removes the MIDI assignments. Note that
this is equivalent to disabling the Key Zone via the context menu in the Keybed area — for
more information, see section
Color Control
For the
Note
message type, in addition to the parameters described in section
, the
Color
setting allows you to define which color should be used
in the Light Guide (the LEDs above the keys on your keyboard) for the selected Key Zone:
