VEL. CURVE

Here you may choose a different

velocity response curve for each

part. Each curve is described by

a small graphic. Settings 0  3

are normal curves while 4  8

are inverse curves, (the

harder you play the quieter the

sound will become.

A good example of using velocity curves would be to layer

two sounds together with the first sound using a normal curve

and the second using an inverse curve. When you play softly,

the second sound will be at maximum volume. As you play

harder, the volume of the second sound will be reduced as

the volume of the first sound is increased. This is called a

velocity crossfade.

VEL. RANGE

This function enables you to

place a particular sound within

a specified range of velocities.

For example, to make a three part velocity switch, activate

parts 6, 7 and 8. Then assign the VELOCITY range as follows;

PART 6: 0 to 40

PART 7: 40 - 80

PART 8: 80  127

NOTE: On any velocity sensitive keyboard, the lightest

possible key velocity is 0 and the hardest velocity is 127.

This will give you the effect of having just one sound across the

whole keyboard. Depending on how hard you play, you will actually

switch between the three different sounds in parts 6, 7 and 8.
