of the selected keyboard part. “L63” means “hard left”
and “R63” represents “hard right”. Choose “0” if the
sound should be at the center of the stereo image.
Key Touch (velocity sensitivity)
The BK-5’s keyboard is velocity sensitive, allowing
you to control the timbre and volume of the key-
board parts by varying the strength with which you
strike the keys.

Parameter Setting
Panpot L63~0~R63
Parameter Setting range Explanation
Curve High, Medium,
Low, Fixed* “High”: Select this set-
ting for maximum
expressiveness. Even
small variations of the
force with which you
strike a key produce
audible changes. The
trade-off is, however,
that you have to strike
the keys forcefully to
reach the maximum
volume.
“Medium”: Medium
velocity sensitivity.
The keyboard
responds to velocity
changes, but the max-
imum volume can be
obtained more easily
than with “high”. (This
is the default setting.)
“Low”: Select this set-
ting if you are used to
playing on an elec-
tronic organ or if you
do not want velocity
changes to bring
about major volume
changes.
“Fixed”: Select this
setting if all notes you
play on the keyboard
should have the same
velocity value. When
you set this parame-
ter, the “Fixed value”
field can be edited
Min Value 1~127 This parameter allows
you to set the smallest
velocity value with
which you can trigger
the selected part.
Max Value 1~127 This parameter allows
you to set the highest
velocity value with
which you can trigger
the selected part.
Fixed value* – 1~127 Allows you to set the
value when “Curve” is
set to “Fixed”.
[*] This parameter can only be edited if the “Curve” parameter is
set to “Fixed”.
