Volume Knob - M-Audio Keystation Mini 32 User Manual

Volume Knob

To assign the Volume Knob to an effect:
1. Press the Edit button. The Edit button light will illuminate to full brightness.
2. Press the "KNOB ASSIGN" key (F#, 1st black key from the right).
3. Use the Numerical Data Entry keys (0 - 9) to enter the number of the parameter you want to assign to
the Volume Knob.
If you have made an error while entering the parameter number, you can press the "CANCEL" key (C,
first white key on the left) to exit Edit Mode without making any changes. As an alternative to step 3, you
can use the "+" and "-" buttons to change the parameter.
4. Press the "ENTER" key (G, last white key on the right); the Edit light will dim to half brightness indicating
that programming is complete.
5. Move the Volume knob clockwise to increase the parameter value.
The Volume Knob assignment is retained when the keyboard is turned off.
To return the Volume Knob to its default parameter (07 - Volume):
1. Press the Edit button. The Edit button light will illuminate to full brightness.
2. Press the "KNOB ASSIGN" key (F#, 1st black key from the right).
3. Press the "DEFAULT" key (C, 8th white key from the left). The Edit light will dim to half brightness
indicating that programming is complete.
Velocity
When you play your Keystation Mini 32, the sound you hear will be affected by how hard you press the key.
Pressing the key very lightly will result in the sound from your software being heard very softly, while pressing
the key very hard will result in it being heard very loudly. Normal playing will result in the sound from your
software to be heard somewhere in between.
Your Keystation Mini 32 offers the velocity settings described in the table below, called Velocity Curves.
While the keyboard is in Edit mode, you can follow the instructions below to choose a Velocity Curve that
either suits your playing style or the kind of "feel" or dynamics you want an instrument part to have.

Notes
The curve generates lower
velocities for the same force,
making it easier to play softly.
This curve is mid-way between the
other two.
The curve generates higher
velocities for the same force,
making it easier to play loudly.
This curve outputs velocity values
of 100 and 127 only, as used in
some drum machines.
Velocity is fixed at the selected
value. All notes will play at the
specified velocity.
