Velocity Curves

Value Descriptions
LINEAR This is a standard setting. It gives the most natural
volume variations in according to playing velocity.
EXP1, More obvious variation in response to strong hits
EXP2 than LINEAR.
LOG1, More obvious variation in response to weak hits
LOG2 than LINEAR.
SPLINE Outstanding variation according to playing veloc-
ity.
LOUD1, It gives slight variation according to the strong
LOUD2 strength to keep the volume convenient for perfor-
mance. When an acoustic drum trigger is in use, it
ensures stable sound reproduction.
