For the Loud Vel SW : determines the lowest key velocity to sound.
For the Soft Vel SW : determines the highest key velocity to sound.
Note:
Each zone can have a separate Velocity Switch Value. By setting the
Soft Zone Velocity Switch Value higher than that of the Loud Zone, a
dynamic area where both sounds play can be created. It is also possible
to switch Internal Zones with External Zones for even more possibilities.
