Oberheim XK - VELOCITY; Velocity Scales; Release Velocity; Velocity Range

VELOCITY
Velocity Scales
There are two user selectable velocity scales plus off In the Xk. Velocity Scale 1 is more sensitive in
the upper range, while Velocity Scale 2 is more sensitive in the middle range. When the velocity is
Off, no velocity is sent. The velocity is sent on new notes with the present velocity scale It is
possible to play and hold notes then change to a new velocity scale, this could be useful when
arpeggiating. The user will select which scale is best for the type of playing being performed And
remember the sensitivity is almost always adjusted in the receiving device. In the example below
scale 2 is selected for the current Master Program

softest being 1. When the velocity is turned off a constant value of 64 is sent.
