Velocity Map

The Velocity Map parameter determines the way the Forte generates MIDI velocity
information. Different maps generate different MIDI velocity values for the same physical
key strike velocity .
The default map (Linear) provides the widest range of velocity expression, but you may want
to choose a different map if the default does not suit your playing style. You can select from
any of the following settings:
Light3
Light2
Light1
Linear
Hard1
Hard2
Hard3
PianoTouch
Easy Touch
GM Receive

Makes it increasingly easier to produce high MIDI velocity values for the
same key strike velocity (with Light3 being the easiest). These maps
work best for those with a light touch.
The Forte default map. Linear, allows MIDI velocities to pass
unchanged. It follows a linear response.
Makes it increasingly harder to produce high MIDI velocity values for the
same key strike velocity (with Hard3 being the hardest). These maps
work best for those with a heavy touch.
Simulates the general velocity response of an acoustic piano, and is
best suited for playing acoustic piano programs.
Similar to the Light1/Light2/Light3 settings. Makes higher velocities
easier to play, but allows more sensitive control over playing high
velocities by not boosting the MIDI velocity for fast strike velocities as
much as it does for medium strike velocities.
Mimics the velocity response commonly used by keyboards that use the
General MIDI (GM) sound set. The GM Receive map makes medium
strike velocities produce higher MIDI velocities compared to the Linear
map.
