This page sets MIDI transposition, and determines how the A3000 adjusts received Note-
On messages before transmitting them to the internal tone generator.
Knob 1 Change Page Select P/S
• Turn either knob to change to a different page within the MIDI function. Available
pages are: Receive, Adjust (this page), RcvFlt, and Bulk.
• Push the knob to move to the Program/Sample Selection screen. (☞95)

Transpose = -127,...,+127
Turn either knob to set the transposition applied to received note values, in semitones.
Set to +0 if you do not want to apply any transposition.
Example: If you set the value to +1, the A3000 will transpose all received note values
upward by one semitone. If the MIDI device transmits a Note-On for A4, the
A3000 will change the value to A#4 before passing it into the internal tone
generator.

VelocityCurve = normal, soft-1, soft-2, hard-1, hard-2,
vel=127, vel=117,...,vel=7
This setting selects the conversion curve that the A3000 uses to adjust received velocity
values before sending them to the tone generator. (See illustration on next page.)
normal Linear relationship
soft-1, soft-2 The applied velocity rises more rapidly in the low-velocity range,
with the rate becoming flatter at higher range. Use one of these
settings if you tend to strike the keyboard lightly when playing.
The soft-2 setting is more pronounced than the soft-1 setting.
hard-1, hard-2 The applied velocity increases relatively slowly in the low-ve-
locity range, with the rate becoming sharper as velocity gets
higher. Use one of these settings if you have a relatively strong
key attack. The hard-2 setting is more pronounced than the
hard-1 setting.
vel=127,...,vel=7 Uses a single velocity for all notes, regardless of received veloc-
ity value. You can set the applied velocity to any velocity value
ending in 7 (127, 117,...,17, 7).
