The Key/Velocity (KEY-VEL) Page

The Key/Velocity page allows you to set key range, velocity range, transposition, and Note
Maps for each zone.
Note: Aside from the settings on this page, MIDI velocities can be affected by settings you make on other
pages: See Velocity Map (Vel Map) (Master) on page 9-3 for an overall setting that affects all MIDI
velocities input to the PC3LE, and all MIDI velocities sent to the internal sound engine and USB or
MIDI out ports (except for velocities output when in Song Mode.) See Velocity Map
(Transmit) on page 9-13 for settings that affect only those MIDI velocities sent to the USB or MIDI out
ports (except for velocities output when in Song Mode.) See Velocity Map (Receive) on page 9-17 for
settings that affect only those MIDI velocities received by the USB or MIDI in ports. On each of the pages
mentioned above, look at the MIDI signal flow chart to see which velocity maps can affect your velocities
depending on which MIDI Sources, MIDI Destinations and operating mode that you are using.

Low Key (LoKey), High Key (HiKey)

The LoKey and HiKey parameters define the note range of the currently selected zone. The
easiest way to change these values is to press and hold the Enter button on the alphanumeric
pad and press the key of the note you wish to enter. You can set these values with normal data
entry methods as well.
You can create "negative" ranges as well. To do this, select the HiKey parameter and set its limit
lower than the LoKey limit. This results in the zone being active at the top and bottom of the
keyboard, but being silent in the range between the two limits. This lets you create a layer with a
"hole" in the middle, which you can then fill with a different sound on another zone.
The limits of MIDI are C-1 to G9. The untransposed 88-key range is A0 to C8. The untransposed
76-key range is E1 to G7.
