Page 1: Midi Port (MIDIPort)
This lets you set the MIDI port to be used with the currently-
selected template. Options are: USB (Usb), MIDI (Mid) or
All (ALL). The default is All (i.e., both USB and the DIN MIDI
ports).
Page 2: Keyboard Velocity Curve (VelCurve)
This selects one of four velocity tables (1 to 4) Velocity
curve 2 is the default, and should be acceptable for most
playing styles. Using the same amount of force, setting
VelCurve to 1 will output lower note velocities when
compared to the higher settings of 3 or 4. When set to Off,
all notes played from the keyboard have a xed velocity of
127.
Page 3: Aftertouch (Aftertch)
Impulse’s keyboard is equipped with Channel Aftertouch,
which sends an additional set of MIDI data when further
pressure is applied to a key while it is being pressed. The
options are On or Off. The default setting is On as many
plug-ins use Aftertouch, but in some situations, you may
prefer to switch it off.
