strike velocities produce higher MIDI velocities compared to the Linear map. GM Receive
effects notes from the PC3LE's keyboard as well as the MIDI in port. This map is automatically
used when the PC3LE is in GM mode (see General MIDI on page 9-9,) though users may want to
use the GM Receive map when generating MIDI outside of GM mode which will later be played
back by a GM system.

Pads Velocity Map (PadVelMap)

Change the Pads Velocity Map setting if you find that the Pads of the PC3LE are not producing
the desired velocities (too loud or too quiet) based on your playing style (how light or heavy
that you play the pads.) The default map provides the widest range of velocity expression, but
you may want to choose a different map if the default does not suit your playing style.

The Pads Velocity Map affects MIDI velocity values for all MIDI sources and destinations used
in the PC3LE (see the circled box above for its location in the MIDI signal flow.) Different maps
used for the Pads Velocity Map generate different MIDI velocity values for the same physical
pad strike velocity. Each map applies a different curve to received MIDI attack velocities and
remaps them to new velocities before letting them pass. The default map provides the widest
range of velocity expression, but you may want to choose a different map if the default does not
suit your playing style. See the diagram above for the other pages that affect the MIDI attack
velocity before and after reaching the Pads Velocity Map. See the last paragraph of Pressure Map
(Press Map) (Master) above for a description of Velocity Map types.
