Utility Mode
easy: This curve is also designed to increase the volume
level with a softer playing style. However, the volume level
is stable in all registers since the velocity curve in the mid
range is close to Normal.
wide: A softer playing style lowers the volume level and a
stronger playing style increases the volume level. As a result,
you feel a wider dynamic range.
hard: A stronger playing style increases the volume level.
This is suitable for people with a strong key touch.

Vel Curve: norm, soft1, soft2, easy, wide, hard
■ VEL FIX (Velocity Fix)
This “fixes” the velocity of the CS2x keyboard to a specific
value. This is used when you want to play the sound at a
fixed velocity regardless of keyboard touch.
Settings
Vel Fix: off, 1 ~ 127
n
Set VEL FIX to “off” to enable the velocity curve selected in VEL
CURVE (see above).

■ KBD TRANS (Keyboard Transpose)
This lets you transpose the keyboard pitch in semitones. The
transpose value will also be reflected in the OCTAVE display
in the LCD.
Settings
Kbd Trans: -36 to 0 (standard pitch) to +36
n
Since the Keyboard Transpose setting is related to the OCTAVE
SHIFT function, the setting will automatically change based on the
OCTAVE SHIFT setting.
■ VEL CURVE (Velocity Curve)
The velocity curve set here determines the way the CS2x’s
tone generator responds to playing velocity when the VEL
FIX parameter (see below) is set to “off”. There are six types
of curves available.
norm (Normal): The velocity is in proportion to the strength
(how hard you play the keyboard).
soft1: A softer playing style increases the volume level. This
is suitable for people with a soft key touch.
soft2: A softer playing style increases the volume level.
Compared to Soft1, this is closer to Normal.
