Velocity TX
Yo ur FR- 3x is veloc itv sensitive. T ha t is a •
very learne d t erll1 for the fact t ha t the
vol ull1 e an d brigh t ness of the no t es VO U
play on t he t reble or bass keyboard depen d on how
hard (or fas t) yo u press the buttons. Velocity inforll1a-
t ion is transmitted via MID I.
T his parameter allows vou to specify whether yo u want
to transmit fixed or dynamic velocitv values (i.e . the
va lu es t ransla t ing how hard/fast yo u press a key or but-
t
on).
Va l ue On, 1 ~ 127
Default setting: On
• On

veloci ty values proportional to the key pressure .
• 1 ~ 1 2 7
Specifies t he fixed velocity val ue to be transll1itted
for all notes.

souncls on an externallllociule.
