e MAIN 2 page in Global Mode allows you to adjust velocity and intonation settings, as
well as other global controller settings.
Velocity Map
e Velocity Map parameter determines the way the K2700 generates MIDI velocity
information. Dierent maps generate dierent MIDI velocity values for the same physical
key strike velocity.
e default map (Linear) provides the widest range of velocity expression, but you may want
to choose a dierent map if the default does not suit your playing style. You can select from
any of the following settings:
Light3
Light2
Light1
Makes it increasingly easier to produce high MIDI velocity values for the
same key strike velocity (with Light3 being the easiest). These maps work
best for those with a light touch.
Linear
The K2700 default map. Linear, allows MIDI velocities to pass unchanged. It
follows a linear response.
Hard1
Hard2
Hard3
Makes it increasingly harder to produce high MIDI velocity values for the
same key strike velocity (with Hard3 being the hardest). These maps work
best for those with a heavy touch.
PianoTouch
Simulates the general velocity response of an acoustic piano, and is best
suited for playing acoustic piano programs.
Easy Touch
Similar to the Light1/Light2/Light3 settings. Makes higher velocities easier
to play, but allows more sensitive control over playing high velocities by not
boosting the MIDI velocity for fast strike velocities as much as it does for
medium strike velocities.
GM Receive
Mimics the velocity response commonly used by keyboards that use the
General MIDI (GM) sound set. The GM Receive map makes medium strike
velocities produce higher MIDI velocities compared to the Linear map.
