Global Mode
This section covers all of the pages found in Global mode. Global mode
includes parameters that affect all different modes found on the Fusion.
Global Workstation Settings
Menu: Global/Settings/General
Parameter: Key Transpose
Value Range: -12 to +12 Semitones
Use Key Transpose to reassign the notes that are triggered when you play
the keyboard (or access the Fusion via an external MIDI device). For
instance, with a “2 semitones” transposition, every time you play a C key,
the Fusion will play the D note instead.
You can transpose the Fusion up to 12 semitones (1 octave) higher or
lower than the default “0”-semitone setting.
Menu: Global/Settings/General
Parameter: Velocity Curve
Value Range: LIN, EXP, LOG, EXP+LOG, Fixed
Velocity Curve lets you set the “feel” of the dynamics of the keyboard.
Many keyboardists try different settings until they find one that suits their
style of playing best. This setting affects the keyboard velocities both to
the Fusion and the MIDI out port. The following diagrams describe
each curve:
