sequence and the actual position of the shoes (resulting in a sudden change of volume when a
shoe is touched).
When the Continue message is received the stored expression value is restored, ensuring that
the sequence continues to play at the correct volume.
Most hardware sequencers (like the Rodgers PR-300S) transmit the Start, Stop and Continue
values automatically unless you manually disable them. Some software sequencers may need
to have the Start/Stop/Continue transmission enabled from within their MIDI configuration
menus.

Setting Velocity Sensitivity
As stated in the “Keyboard Velocity” section on page 64, sounds played from MIDI couplers
can be controlled by velocity-sensitive keyboards, where the strength of a key strike
determines the volume and attack characteristic of a note. In addition to this parameter in the
MIDI coupler settings, there is also a global setting which determines the velocity sensitivity
of the keyboards — how much pressure is needed to achieve a high velocity value.
There are three available velocity curves to choose from:
•
LIGHT
: most sensitive – Light keystrokes can achieve a higher than normal velocity.
•
NORMAL
: normal sensitivity – a direct relationship between touch and sound result
The organ reverts to
Sequencer Update On
when the instrument is powered off.
