Pressure
iPSET01 Trk01 - Pressure=CHANNEL
Pressure Range: NONE, KEY, or CHANNEL
This parameter enables you to assign one of three pressure types to each Track. This parameter
controls which pressure type a track will respond to via MIDI. This parameter also enables and
disables track pressure transmission to both KT sounds, and to external MIDI. Remember, the
KT keyboard itself can only generate channel pressure, but it can receive both channel and Poly-
Key pressure via MIDI.
When Pressure=NONE:
• Voices played from the keyboard or the sequencer will not respond to pressure.
• The sequencer will not record pressure into any tracks you record.
• The sequencer will not play back any Poly-Key or channel pressure messages recorded on the
track.
• The instrument will not transmit or receive pressure of either type via incoming MIDI.
Note: You should select Pressure=NONE whenever you don’t want or need pressure
for a given sound, particularly when sequencing. Pressure data uses up sequencer
memory rapidly, so whenever you record a track with a sound that doesn’t respond to
pressure, set this parameter to NONE. This will avoid wasting valuable sequencer
memory, and will avoid clogging up the MIDI data stream with a lot of unnecessary
pressure information. Existing pressure information can also be removed from a track
using Filter Events on Edit Seq/Preset page 57.
When Pressure=KEY:
• Voices played from the KT keyboard will not respond to pressure.
• The sequencer will record Poly-Key pressure received via incoming MIDI into any tracks you
record.
• The sequencer will play back any Poly-Key pressure messages recorded on the track, and will
ignore any channel pressure on the track.
• The KT keyboard will not transmit any pressure out via MIDI; however,
• Either channel pressure or Poly-Key pressure will be received via incoming MIDI.
When Pressure=CHANNEL:
• Voices played from the KT keyboard will respond to channel pressure only.
• The sequencer will record channel pressure into any tracks you record.
• The sequencer will play back any channel pressure messages recorded on the track, and will
ignore any Poly-Key pressure on the track.
• The KT keyboard will only transmit channel pressure out via MIDI, however.
• Either channel pressure or Poly-Key pressure will be received via incoming MIDI.
Note: The KT sequencer will always record both channel and Poly-Key pressure
(received via incoming MIDI), no matter what the Track Pressure parameter is set to.
