5.2.2.2 Set different velocity (touch) response to the keyboard

The keyboard on iRig Kyes I/O is velocity sensitive. Usually this means that the harder you hit the keys, the

louder the sound that is produced. However this ultimately depends on how the instrument you’re controlling is

programmed and your playing style.

In order to match the style of individual users, iRig Keys I/O offers six different velocity response settings:

1. VEL SENS, LIGHT. Use this setting if you prefer a light touch on the keys. This is especially useful when you

need to play fast passages or program drum patterns.

2. VEL SENS, NORMAL. This setting is the default setting and works well in most cases.

3. VEL SENS, HEAVY. Use this setting if you prefer a heavy touch on the keys.

4. FIXED, 64. This setting will always send a fixed MIDI velocity value of 64 without any touch response.

5. FIXED, 100. This setting will always send a fixed MIDI velocity value of 100 without any touch response.

6. FIXED, 127. This setting will always send a fixed MIDI velocity value of 127 without any touch response.

To set the velocity response:

• Enter Edit Mode by pressing the ALT and EDIT buttons;
