Windows and Setting Parameter Values” (p. 26).
The following parameters are available:
Parameter Setting Explanation
Curve
High, Medium,
Low, Fixed*
• “High”:
Select this setting for maximum expressive-
ness. Even small variations of the force with
which you strike a key produce audible
changes. The trade-o is, however, that you
have to strike the keys forcefully to reach
the maximum volume.
• “Medium”:
Medium velocity sensitivity. The keyboard
responds to velocity changes, but the
maximum volume can be obtained more
easily than the with “high” curve. (This is the
default setting.)
• “Low”:
Select this setting if you are used to playing
on an electronic organ or if you do not
want velocity changes to bring about major
volume changes.
• “Fixed”:
Select this setting if all notes you play on
the keyboard should have the same veloc-
ity value. When you set this parameter, the
“Fixed value” eld can be edited.
Min Value 1~127
This parameter allows you to set the
smallest velocity value with which you can
trigger the selected part.
Max Value 1~127
This parameter allows you to set the
highest velocity value with which you can
trigger the selected part.
Fixed value* 1~127
Allows you to set the value when “Curve” is
set to “Fixed”.
[*] This parameter can only be edited if the “Curve” parameter is set
to “Fixed”.
