Awordaboutpressure:KeyRangeinazonedoesnotdefinewhichnoteswillgeneratepressure
inthatzone.Ifpressureisenabledinazone,playingwithaftertouchanywhereonthekeyboard
willproducedata.Forexample,if
Zone1’s KeyRa nge isC3–C5andyouplayC2andpush
downonthenote,pressuremessageswillbesentfromZone1.Aswithanyotherphysical
controller,however,youcandisablepressureinanyzone,orscaleitoroffsetitdifferentlyinthe
