PROGRAMMING BASICS
KEY NUMBER
The Key Number is affected by the Keyboard Center parameter which
can be set to any key from A-1 to C7. The keyboard center establishes
a reference point for keyboard modulation; keys above this point will
have a positive value, while keys below it will be negative. For ex-
ample, if we wished to change the volume of an instrument using key
number and the key center were set to middle C, the instrument
would get progressively louder above middle C and progressively
softer below middle C.

VELOCITY CURVES
Incoming velocity values can be scaled by one of the four velocity
curves in order to match your playing style or better adapt to the MIDI
controller. Experiment with the four curves to find the one that works
best for your style and MIDI controller.
