Maps; Velocity Map (Master) - Kurzweil PC3 Musician's Manual Addendum

MAPS

On the MAPS page you'll find parameters for setting keyboard behavior for velocity, pressure,
intonation, and key action maps. You can also set the default sequence for Song mode.

Velocity Map (Master)

Change the Master Velocity Map setting if you find that the PC3 is not producing the desired
velocities (too loud or too quiet) based on your playing style (how light or heavy that you play
the keys.) The default map 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.

The Master Velocity Map is an overall control for MIDI velocities used in the PC3. MIDI
velocities are values created for each note depending on how hard you strike a key. The Master
Velocity Map affects MIDI velocity values for all MIDI sources and destinations used in the PC3
(see the circled box above for its location in the MIDI signal flow.) Different maps used for the
Master Velocity Map generate different MIDI velocity values for the same physical key strike
