High Note Limit; Low Velocity Limit - Yamaha SY55 Product Manual

Summary: Individually sets the high note limit for
each active element (the highest note that each
element will produce).
Settings: C-2 ... G8
Procedure: The and
to select the element for which the high note
limit is to be set (EL1, EL2, EL3 or EL4 will
appear in the upper right-hand comer of the dis-
play). Unavailable elements are represented by
"***" on the display. The [DATA ENTRY]
control or [+1/YES] and [-1/NO] keys are used to
set the high note limit.
Summary: Sets the lowest velocity value for a range
of velocity values over which each active ele-
ment will produce output.
Settings: 1 ... 127
Procedure: The and
to select the element for which the low velocity
limit is to be set (EL1, EL2, EL3 or EL4 will
appear in the upper right-hand comer of the dis-
play). Unavailable elements are represented by
"***" on the display. The [DATA ENTRY]
control, [-1/NO] and [+1/YES] keys, or numeric
and [ENTER] keys are used to set the low veloc-
ity limit.
The low velocity limit can also be set by
pressing the [ENTER] key — "KBD" will flash
on the display — and then a key on the keyboard
at approximately the desired velocity.

troller) contains a "velocity" value that tells the
tone generator how hard the note has been
played. The range, of MIDI velocity values is
from 1 to 127— thus the 1 ... 127 range of this
function.
The Low Velocity Limit function, in con-
junction with the High Velocity Limit function
described below, makes it possible to specify a
range of velocity values over which the selected
element will produce sound. You could, for ex-
ample, set Low Velocity Limit to "60" and High
Velocity Limit to "127." This would cause that
element to produce output only when a velocity
value between 60 and 127 was received — i.e.
when a fairly loud note is played. A second
element could then be set to produce output only
when velocity values below 60 are received, so
that completely different sounds are produced
on soft and loud notes.

LIMIT" on page 62.
