Knob 4
[ Turn] Velocity High Range
Turn the knob to set the maximum velocity that can be
used to produce sound from this sample.
[Range] Velocity Low Range — 127
[ Press] MIDI
When this knob is pressed the parameter can be directly
set by a MIDI note-on message received from an external
MIDI device.
Knob 5
[ Turn] Velocity High Crossfade
Determines how the sound fades at velocities higher than
the Velocity High Range setting. The higher the value the
more abrupt the fade.
[Range] 0 — 127
• The higher the value, the higher the velocity at which
the sample will sound.
• The use of velocity crossfade allows you to blend
samples that are set for playback at different velocity
ranges, so that sound does not change drastically in
response to slight velocity changes near the range
limit.

Level Scaling

[EDIT] Button [F2] Button
"EDIT-LvlScal"
This page determines how the sample's output level varies
across the keyboard.
• Certain samples seem to get louder as pitch increases, while cer-
tain others seem to become softer with rising pitch. The level-scal-
ing feature described here lets you correct for these variations,
allowing you to produce an apparently uniform playback level over
the entire keyboard.
