The graphs show the relationship between the velocity value received by the zone input and the velocity value sent to the
SL-2001 output. The Linear curve does not translate the velocity value; the output value is identical to the input. The Shelf
curve has the effect of compressing the middle velocity range so that the output values tend towards the center of the range
(64). The two exponential curves will have the greatest effect on the "feel" of a MIDI keyboard. Use the other velocity para-
meters together with the curve parameter to experiment with the dynamic response.
The Scale parameter is used to expand or shrink the dynamic range of a sound module. A scale factor of 100% will have no
effect; increasing or decreasing this setting will have a corresponding effect on the dynamic response. Negative scale factors
are also available which will produce decreasing output velocity values for increasing input velocities. Two zones set for
positive and negative scale factors can produce a velocity cross-fade effect, where the mix between two sound modules is
controlled by the playing force on the keyboard.
The Offset parameter is used to add a constant value to the note-on velocity. This will have the effect of increasing (or
decreasing) the velocity (and therefore the loudness) of a note over the entire dynamic range. For decaying echo effects, use
several delayed zones assigned to the same sound module, and offset each zone by a more negative value.
The Velocity functions are not available if the zone is bypassed, and the parameter values are not displayed.
NOTES
The NOTES function affects the way in which MIDI note events pass through a zone. They may be completely blocked, or
notes may be selectively filtered in many useful ways.
Control Slider 1 selects various note filters. To pass all MIDI note events, adjust the slider to On. To block all note events for
the zone, select Off. Two additional settings allow only odd-numbered or even-numbered notes to pass (middle "C" is note
number 60). The "Kmap" setting is a special filter in which all 128 MIDI note numbers may be designated to be blocked or
passed. Use the Star switch to access the alternate screen and program the key map.
