MIDI NOTE
VELOCITY
MIDI note velocity controls the attack quality and loudness
of
MIDI sounds. To sound
authentic, instruments such as the piano and other percussion instruments require a greater and
more pronounced attack than instruments such as the flute
or
oboe. The velocity can be
individually selected on each MIDI coupler piston, and these settings can then be saved
on
combination pistons. The two types
of
MIDI note velocity on the 960 are Fixed Velocity and
Expression Velocity.
Fixed Velocity: The same velocity value is used for
all
notes
of
the keyboard
or
pedalboard, and can be set
to
any value from 2 to 127.
• SETTING FIXED VELOCITY:
1.
Hold the
SET
piston, then press the MIDI coupler piston. The piston flashes.
Release both pistons.
2.
Turn the Select Knob clockwise (right) until the cursor moves
to
the second menu
screen and
is
positioned
in
the Velocity field ("VEL").
3.
Rotate the Alpha Dial to select the desired velocity value (2-127).
4.
Press either the flashing MIDI coupler piston
or
General Cancel
to
exit. Note: A
MIDI
Save may
be
performed
to
save this setting as
the
default. Please refer
to
the "MIDI Save" section.
Expression
Velocity: This velocity
is
controlled by the expression shoes and is not
affected by the attack
of
the keys. The volume (MIDI Main Volume, Control Change #7) is
set to maximum when this setting
is
in
use.
• SETTING EXPRESSION VELOCITY:
1.
Hold the
SET
piston, then press the
MIDI
coupler piston. The piston flashes.
Release
both
pistons.
2.
Turn the Select Knob clockwise (right) until the cursor moves to the second menu
screen and is positioned
in
the Velocity field ("VEL").
3.
Rotate the Alpha Dial to select Expression Velocity ("FM EXP").
4.
Press either the flashing MIDI coupler piston
or
General Cancel
to
exit. Note: A
MIDI
Save may be performed
to
save this setting as the default. Please refer to
the "MIDI
Save"
section.
OCT
AVE
SHIFT
Normally
all
MIDI
coupler pistons play at standard pitch (middle C = note 60). The
Octave Shift setting can be set to cause any
MIDI
piston
to
play one or two octaves above or
below standard pitch.
