3–2: Velocity Zone
Here you can set the Top/Bottom Velocity to specify the range of velocities at which each timbre
1–8 will sound, and set the Top/Bottom Slope to specify the range in which the volume will
change.
The LCD will show a line to indicate the range of velocities at which each timbre will sound, and
the area of the slope will be greyed.
If two or more timbres playing different sounds are set so that their velocity ranges do not over-
lap, you can play different sounds with notes of different playing strengths. (Velocity Switch)
If you make settings so that the ranges that sound will overlap, different sounds will be mixed
(layered).
In addition, if the slopes (the greyed portions) overlap, the sounds will overlap, and the volume
balance of the sounds will change as you vary your playing strength. (Velocity Crossfade)
These settings have no effect on MIDI transmission or reception.
It is not possible to set the Bottom Velocity above the Top Velocity. Nor is it possible to make
settings that would cause the Top Slope and Bottom Slope to overlap.
3–2a: Top Velocity [1…127]
Specifies the highest velocity value which will sound each timbre 1–8.
The velocity can also be specified from the keyboard.
3–2b: Top Slope [0…120]
Specifies the range of velocities over which the volume will reach the original volume from the
Top Velocity.
This is not effective for the timbres that use Bank M programs.
With a setting of
0
, the note will sound at the original volume for the top velocity.
With a setting of
120
, the volume will decrease as the Top Velocity is approached.
3–2c: Bottom Slope [0…120]
Specifies the range of velocities over which the volume will reach the original volume from the
Bottom Velocity.
This is not effective for the timbres that use Bank M programs.
With a setting of
0
, the note will sound at the original volume.
With a setting of
120
, the volume will decrease as the Bottom Velocity is approached.
