The velocity selection procedure is complete. Combination pistons which are set
while the MIDI coupler is activated will also store the velocity setting. A MIDI Save
may be performed to save this setting as the default. See “MIDI Save” on page 80.
Keyboard Velocity
Keyboard velocity mode 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
the key is depressed, 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. See “Setting Velocity” on page 77 for more information.
Organ stops are not affected by keyboard velocity. Also, wood keyboards are not
velocity sensitive.

SET
to return MIDI couplers to their defaults. This Reset procedure also returns
Voice Palette selections to their defaults.
