System Common message - a MIDI message for all MIDI devices, such as tuning,
song select, timeclock sync, and sequence start.
System Exclusive message (SysEx)- a MIDI message that is tied to a device ID.
Only the device whose ID matches the ID number of the sending device will
“see” this message. Used differently by different manufacturers for different
special features of their particular hard/software.
Tx - controls whether a device can transmit a MIDI message, or not.
Velocity Curve - this function allows you to select which type of envelope the
MIDI sounds will generate. In basic terms, it controls how fast the note starts,
how fast it decays, how long it sustains, whether it rises or falls in volume while
the key is held, and how fast it releases. Each keyboard that has multiple velocity
curves to choose from will have a chart that shows the characteristics of the
various options.
Volume - loudness, or the lack of it!
Zone - a pre-selected part of a keyboard, which will only control what has been
assigned to it.
