This parameter affects the response of the keyboard to your playing effort as follows:
1 Easier. Little effort is required to play notes loudly. Also, softly-played notes are
louder than the other settings. Best for ensemble playing.
2 Easy. Less effort is required to play notes loudly than with the Normal setting.
Softly played notes remain soft.
3 Normal. This is the default setting and is suitable for most players and
circumstances where a wide dynamic range is desirable.
4 Hard. More effort is required to play notes loudly than with the Normal setting.
The volume of the loudest possible note remains the same however.
5 Harder. Much effort is required to play notes loudly. The volume of the loudest
possible note is also reduced somewhat.
Figure 5-1 is a graphical representation of what these settings do. The numbers on the
Velocity axis represent MIDI velocity values.
