Setting The Velocity To Notes Ratio - Arturia KEYSTEP 37 User Manual

3.1.4. Setting the Velocity to Notes ratio

When you press a key on the keyboard, the KeyStep 37 registers the speed with which you
hit the key and stores it in a value range from 1 to 127. This value speed (called velocity) can
then be used to control parameters on external synths.
The KeyStep 37 uses this velocity value in a unique way: it is applied to the note span! In the
fully clockwise position, all of the velocity speed is used to maximise the note span. If the
number of notes is set to 12, all 12 notes will be played, if set to 16, 16 notes will be played.
The amount with which Velocity will affect the note span can be set from 0% to 100%.
With the Vel>Notes knob set to:
• minimum (0%) all notes play no matter the velocity played by the keyboard
• medium (50%), about halve of the notes will play when playing at low velocity,
and all notes when you play at full velocity
• maximum (99%) only the root note will play when you play at very low velocity
and all notes when you play at maximum velocity
