Velocity Zone Settings - Korg Trinity series Basic Manual

To create a combination like the one shown above, select the programs for timbres 1–3 in Combi-
nation Play mode or in Combination Edit mode P1, tab page 1 (Timb Param 1).
Select a piano program for timbre 1.
Select a brass program for timbre 2.
Select a string program for timbre 3.
(Refer to the separate Voice Name List booklet.)
Be sure to match all timbres' MIDI channels with the Global MIDI Channel. You can use the Tim-
bre's MIDI Channel in P1 tab page 1.
Then in Combination Edit mode P3 tab page 1 (Key Zone), set the Top Key and Bottom Key
parameters.
For timbre 1, set the Top Key to G9 and the Bottom key to C4.
For timbres 2 and 3, set the Top Key to B3 and the Bottom Key to C–1.
If at this time you set the Top Slope and Bottom Slope parameters of three timbres so that the
sounds of timbre 1 and part of timbres 2 and 3 will overlap and change the volume level, you can
avoid a sudden change in sound at the boundary between B3 and C4.
In Combination Play mode, it is not possible to change the program for a Timbre whose Combina-
tion Edit mode P1 tab page 1 (Timb Param1) parameter Timbre Mode is turned OFF.

Velocity zone settings

For each timbre in a combination, you can specify the range of note velocities that will sound the
timbre. The range of note velocities that will sound a timbre is called the Velocity Zone.
By setting the velocity zone, you can create a combination in which a program will be sounded
only by notes played with a certain range of strength. By making different velocity zone settings
for two or more timbres, you can create velocity switch-type combinations.
The upper limit and lower limit of the velocity zone of each timbre is determined by the Top Vel
and the Bottom Vel setting.
For example in the diagram below, the velocity zones of timbres 1 and 2 have been set to create a
velocity switch-type combination in which keyboard velocity switches between two sounds.
Timbre 1
Timbre 2
To create a combination like the one shown above, first select the program for timbres 1 and 2 of
the combination, either in Combination Play mode, or in Combination Edit mode P1 tab page 1
(Timb Param 1).
Select a brass program for timbre 1.
Select a strings program for timbre 2.
(Refer to the separate Voice Name List booklet.)
Be sure to match all timbres' MIDI channels with the Global MIDI Channel. You can use the Tim-
bre's MIDI Channel in P1 tab page 1.
Then in Combination Edit mode P3 tab page 2 (Vel Zone), set the Top Vel and Bottom Vel parame-
ters.
For timbre 1, set the Top Vel to 127 and the Bottom Vel to 64.
For timbre 2, set the Top Vel to 63 and the Bottom Vel to 1.
If at this time you set the Top Slope and Bottom Slope parameters of two timbres so that part of the
sounds will overlap and change the volume level, you can avoid a sudden change in sound at the
boundary between velocity 63 and 64.
In Combination Play mode, it is not possible to change the program for a Timbre whose Combina-
tion Edit mode P1 tab page 1 (Timb Param1) parameter Timbre Mode is turned OFF.
