Keyboard Controls & Settings - KETRON SD9 Manual

14. KEYBOARD CONTROLS & SETTINGS
Here is where you will find access to many parameters and settings that control the overall keyboard controls and
settings. To access the CONTROLS page, press the MENU button
CONTROLS icon shown on the screen to display the following screen –
Let's take a closer look at the functions available and how they can be applied to our daily usage.
- GLOBAL: Allows you to tune the SD9 PRO and modify Modulation sensitivity. To modify the tone, simply touch
the TUNE box or the corresponding virtual knob and change the numeric value by turning with your finger or with
the data Dial. In the same way, to change modulation sensitivity, touch the MOD. SENSITIVITY box or the
corresponding virtual knob and change the numeric value with the Dial.
- AFTERTOUCH: This is a parameter that many keyboards have today and allows you to modify a sound by
pressing a key on the keyboard a little harder ...even after pressing the note. The effect applied to the Aftertouch
may be a modulation, opening of a filter, an increase in volume. For example, by assigning volume to Aftertouch,
you can simulate the sustained effect of a string or wind instrument which may increase the intensity of a note even
after the attack is over. On this page you may set the sensitivity of the Aftertouch response and the key pressure
threshold below which the Aftertouch effect will not respond. Here again, the modifications are done by touching
the SENSITIVITY and THRESHOLD boxes or the corresponding virtual knobs, and modifying their values with
the data dial wheel.
- EXPR.PEDAL: This enables the Expression pedal to be used for controlling the volume of the Left and Style
section and the PLAYERS (when turned on – yellow). The response curve of the volume pedal may be set by
touching the PEDAL CURVE box and using the Dial to change its value (Normal, Smooth, Fast ... etc).
* Polarity: This allows you to select the polarity of the pedal switch to use (Normal Open / Normal Closed)
based on what type of volume pedal you are using. This also means you can now use volume pedals from
other manufactures too and customize the SD9 PRO to accept them.
* Threshold: This adjusts the opening threshold of the pedal controller to be used.
