Sets the properties of the keyboard.

Keyboard Transpose -48 ~ +48

Velocity Curve normal, soft 1, soft 2,

easy, wide, hard,

cross 1, cross 2

Fixed Velocity 0 ~ 127, off

Description

• Use this function to set the keyboard properties.

• Keyboard Transpose: Shifts the pitch of the keyboard up or down, by semitones.

Setting the value to +3, for example, shifts all keyboard notes up 1-1/2 tones;

setting the value to -12 transposes all notes down one octave.

• Velocity Curve: Sets the relationship between key-strike force and velocity.

(Refer also to the illustrations on the next page.)

• normal

Velocity increases in proportion to striking force.

• soft 1, soft 2

Light action; produces loud sound relative to striking force. Suitable for

performers with light keyboard touch.

• easy

Produces loud sound relative to striking force for weak and strong striking

forces, but fairly stable output level over the range of typical intermediate

striking forces.

• wide

Wide dynamic range: light touch produces disproportionately low velocity,

while strong touch produces disproportionately high velocity.

• hard

Hard action; produces weak sound relative to striking force. Suitable for

performers with heavy keyboard touch.

• cross 1, cross 2

Use either of these curves to obtain a velocity-controlled crossfade effect

between two keyboards operating in unison.
