TOUCH (Velocity and Pressure Response)
SYSTEM•MIDI
Press Edit / System•MIDI / scroll using the arrow buttons
Allows you to adjust both the pressure and velocity response of the keyboard to match your
playing style and technique. For each of the four velocity settings SOFT, MED, FIRM, HARD
there are four pressure thresholds 1, 2, 3, 4, for a total of 16 available settings. The pressure
threshold can be varied between 1 (minimum force required to bring in pressure) and 4
(maximum force required to bring in pressure).
• SOFT 1, SOFT 2, SOFT 3, SOFT 4 — This is for someone with a light touch. On any of these
settings, a minimum of velocity is required to reach the maximum level of any velocity-
controlled parameter. The pressure threshold is adjustable from SOFT 1 to SOFT 4 as
described above.
• MED 1 MED 2, MED 3, MED 4 — Slightly harder keystrikes are required to reach maximum
velocity levels. The pressure threshold is adjustable from MED 1 to MED 4 as described
above.
• FIRM 1, FIRM 2, FIRM 3, FIRM 4 — These settings represent average velocity sensitivity. One
of these settings should be right for the player with an average touch. The pressure threshold
is adjustable from FIRM 1 to FIRM 4 as described above.
• HARD 1, HARD 2, HARD 3, HARD 4 — These settings are for the strong player who strikes
the keys hard. It provides the widest possible range of velocity sensitivity. The pressure
threshold is adjustable from HARD 1 to HARD 4 as described above.
EDIT
PEDAL (VOLUME / MOD)
SYSTEM•MIDI
Press Edit / System•MIDI / 2
The optional CV Pedal (model CVP-1) can be used as a volume pedal or as a modulator. When
PEDAL= VOLUME, the pedal will only affect the volume of the selected Instrument•Sequence
Track(s), and it will be transmitted via MIDI as MIDI controller #7. When PEDAL=MOD, it will
affect any modulation destination that has PEDAL selected as a modulator, and it will be
transmitted via MIDI as MIDI controller #4. When PEDAL= VOLUME the ASR-10 will still
receive PEDAL (MIDI controller #4) messages via MIDI.
Note:
Some Yamaha
™
TX modules (depending on the software version) receive MIDI controller #4 as
volume. If PEDAL=MOD MIDI=4, and the pedal is not plugged in, the MIDI controller #4 value
transmitted will default to 0, which could shut down the volume of the TX.
• When set to PEDAL=VOLUME MIDI=7 the optional CV Pedal acts as a volume pedal for the
selected Instrument•Sequence Track(s).
• When set to PEDAL=MOD MIDI=4 the optional CV Pedal acts as a modulation pedal, and will
cease to act as a volume pedal.
