(4) Use the Select knob to select the “Vel” parameter.
(5) Rotate the data entry wheel to select the desired
setting (1~127).
The “Vel” setting procedure is complete.
(6) Save your settings if you wish to keep them.
See page 54.

[ø¥EXIT]

Keyboard velocity (Kbd)
“Kbd” allows the velocity value of each note to be
determined by the actual physical force used when
the key is played, just like a piano keyboard. The
harder a key is pressed, the louder the note and
sharper the attack. This is especially useful when
controlling percussive instruments and/or when you
want to use key velocity as a means of musical
expression.
There are also a variety of velocity curves available
which allow you to specify how sensitive the
keyboards are.
Note: Organ stops are not affected by keyboard velocity and
the pedals are not velocity sensitive.
(1) See the procedure above.
(2) In step (5), use the data entry wheel to select “Kbd”
rather than a value.
(3) Save your settings if you wish to keep them.
See page 54.
(4) Press and hold the
[ø¥EXIT]
piston to return to the
main page.
Expression Velocity (EXP)
With “EXP”, the velocity value is determined by the
position of the related expression shoe when the
note is played. As the expression shoe is pushed
further down, the velocity value of notes played
increases; as the expression shoe is closed, the
velocity value decreases.
In EXP mode, the volume value for the coupler is set
to 127 (“full”) and movements of the expression shoe
will not change the MIDI volume message; only the
expression value of notes played change. This means
that notes which are held down will be unaffected by
movement of the expression shoe—only new notes
played will respond to changes in the shoe position.
Instruments controlled by couplers set in EXP mode
will typically be much louder when the expression
shoe is pushed open, because both the volume and
velocity are set to full.
(1) Set the desired ORCH/MIDI tab coupler(s) to “MIDI”
rather than “ORCH”. Please refer to “Enabling
MIDI” on p. 44.
(2) See the procedure for “Fixed Velocity (1~127)” on
p. 47.
(3) In step (5), use the data entry wheel to select “Kbd”
rather than a value.
(4) Save your settings if you wish to keep them.
See page 54.
(5) Press and hold the
[ø¥EXIT]
piston to return to the
main page.
Pan
MIDI sound modules that conform to the GM and GS
Format standards support the “Pan” message, which
allows you to place an instrument at a specific point
within a stereo field. When the Pan message is set to
“0”, the instrument is located in the
center .
Negative values (–1~–64) move the sound further to
the left side of the stereo field. A value of “–64” denotes
the instrument is as far
left as possible.
Positive values (1~63) move the sound further right in
the stereo field. A value of “63” denotes the instrument
is as far
right as possible.
Each MIDI coupler can have its own individual Pan
value.
(1) First of all, set the desired ORCH/MIDI tab
coupler(s) to “MIDI” rather than “ORCH”. Please
refer to “Enabling MIDI” on p. 44.
(2) Press and hold the
[SET]
piston.
(You can also press
[QUICK¥MENU]
, select “MIDI
Setting”, the division and the parameter.)
(3) Press the upper half of the desired ORCH/MIDI tab
( PEDAL, MAN I or MAN II ).
It flashes to signal that a MIDI setting can be made.
(4) Use the Select knob to select the “Pan” parameter.
(5) Rotate the data entry wheel to select the desired
setting (–64~63).
The “Pan” setting procedure is complete.
(6) Save your settings if you wish to keep them.
See page 54.
(7) Press and hold the
[ø¥EXIT]
piston to return to the
