11 Keyboard
This instrument features a 37-note keyboard (mini keyboard, velocity sensitive, no aftertouch).
Velocity: The effect changes in relation to how hard you play the keys. Normally, the tonal color
and volume changes according to how hard you play.
Keyboard tracking: The effect that’s applied changes according to which key you play (low range
vs. high range). Normally, the sounds are set so that the tonal color gets brighter as you go up the
keyboard, to make the volume sound different from low to high notes and so forth.
By using the velocity and keyboard tracking as a virtual patch source, you can create a variety of
effects in addition to those listed above.
