Velocity Curve (VelCurve)
VelCurveletsyoutaperthevelocityresponse.ThedefaultsettingisLinear,whichmeansthat
theoutputvelocitychangesdirectlyproportionallytotheplayedvelocity.

Velocity Curve: Expand
as you hit the keys harder (increase the
velocity) MIDI velocity increases proportionally
MIDI velocity is greater at
medium strike velocity than with Linear curve
MIDI velocity is less at
medium strike velocity than with Linear curve
