3.5.5 Pad Curve
The Pad curve button is used to set the response curve of all eight pads. It is not possible to set the response curve of the pads
independently.
There are nine response curves, and 3 fixed curves.
To change the velocity curve:
49 and 61 note versions:
Press the Pad. Curve button.
<
The LCD will flash the currently selected velocity curve. Proceeded by a 'C' if a curve is selected, or 'F' if a fixed velocity* is selected.
<
Enter the new curve number using the numeric keypad.
<
25 note version:
Press the Advanced button.
<
Press the Pad. Curve key twice.
<
The LCD will flash the currently selected velocity curve. Proceeded by a 'C' if a curve is selected, or 'F' if a fixed velocity* is selected.
<
Enter the new curve number using the numeric data entry keys.
<
*It is also possible to select to send fixed velocities each time you press a key. This is useful when composing drum parts, or simple synthesizer
tracks. The fixed velocities are selected by assigning curve 10 to 12 as follows:
Curve Fixed Velocity value
10 64
11 100
12 127
3.5.6 Vel. Lock
The Vel. Lock feature allows you to immediately turn off the response curve of the pads, and lock them to a set velocity. You can assign a
different Lock velocity to each pad individually.
To turn Vel. Lock mode on and off, use the Vel. Lock buttons.
Please note that the Vel. Lock feature only applies to pads set up as trigger pads. If a pad is assigned as a pressure pad, the Vel Lock function
has no affect.
The velocities that are locked by this function are set using the Data 2 and Data 3 parameters for each pad.
Setting the Vel Lock parameters as follows:
49 and 61 note versions:
Select the pad for programming as explained in Section 2.4.2.
<
Ensure the pad is set up as a note trigger pad as described in Section 3.5.1.
<
Press the Data 3 button. Enter the fixed ON velocity.
<
Press the Data 2 button. Enter the fixed OFF velocity.
<
25 note version:
