the user must access the UTILITY mode in the DYNAMIC CURVES page of the EDIT
CURVES section and follow the instructions given in the part of this manual which
discusses that page. The name of the selected curve also appears, for display only.
The possibility of assigning different dynamic curves to several zones allows the user to
create dynamic layers and splits between different zones and MIDI channels. For
example, it is possible to create a patch with 2 overlapping zones where the first controls
the piano sound with a curve capable of reading all Key Velocity values, and the second
controls a brass sound but with a curve which only reads values above 70. This means
that as when the keyboard is played with a Key Velocity of less than 70, only the piano will
sound, but as soon as this value is exceeded, the brass sound will be overlapped with the
piano (dynamic Layer). If the dynamic curve of the piano were programmed to respond up
to a Key Velocity value of 70, above that value the piano would no longer sound and only
the brass would be heard (dynamic Split). This example can be extended to a larger
number of overlapping zones transmitting on different MIDI channels.
The bottom of the display contains the usual icon rectangles indicating the sections of the
EDIT mode, with the current section shown in reverse.
The last rectangle contains the word MORE. F6 can be pressed for access to the second
page of the section, dedicated to the Aftertouch curves which can be assigned to the
single zones.
4.5.3 CURVES 2.
This page, which as just stated can only be selected from the CURVES1 page by pressing
function key F6, contains a video page similar to the previous one, with the sole difference
that here the Aftertouch curve is displayed. These curves are chosen from the 16 preset in
the instrument's ROM, or the 48 curves the user has set himself in the UTILITY / EDIT
CURVES section.
Here again, the top of the display shows the name of the current page, the name of the
current patch and the lights indicating the zone activation status. Below this is the ZONE
field. After locating on this field with the cursor keys, the user can select the zone where
the dynamic response curve will be set using the encoder or INC and DEC.
After using the cursor keys to move down to the CURVE N. field, the user can turn the
encoder or use the INC and DEC keys to select the Aftertouch response curve to be
applied to the chosen zone. Alongside this field is a window showing the appearance of
the curve to be selected. This window is for display only, and cannot be used to modify
the curve. To modify the curve, the user must access the UTILITY mode in the
AFTERTOUCH CURVES page of the EDIT CURVES section and follow the instructions
given in the part of this manual which discusses that page.
The name of the selected curve also appears, for display only.
