Setting the Independent Key
 
Transition Rate 
There are two ways of setting the transition rate: using the
 
Flexi Pad control block, Multifunction Flexi Pad control
 
block or numeric keypad control block to enter a numeric
 
value, or using the Key menu to access the Transition
 
menu for the M/E or PGM/PST bank. 
You can also display the transition rate, independent key
 
transition rate, and fade-to-black transition rate for each of
 
the M/E and PGM/PST banks, and change the settings (see
 
page 234). 
When the setup selection is for separate transition rates for
 
inserting or deleting a key, you can set both rates
 
independently. For example, with the system in the state
 
with the key not inserted, the transition rate setting applies
 
to key insertion.
