6.2.12 Velocity Switch
Off
Volume
Level
Velocity switching is an extremely useful and creative tool for customizing
a performance. Using Velocity Switching, it is possible to have either one
sound switch to another sound at a set velocity, or even for a second sound
to be added in once a certain velocity has been reached, or to have a sound
drop out above or below a set velocity level.
This parameter sets the velocity switch type.
Off : No effect. The sound plays normally
Loud:: The selected sound plays only when the key is struck harder than the
Vel SW Val. (See next parameter)
Soft : The selected sound plays only when the key is struck softer than the
Vel SW Val. (See next parameter)

6.2.13 Velocity Switch Value
Let
Si Hal
This parameter determines switchirig level ofthe key velocity
For the Loud Vel SW : determines the lowest key velocity to sound.
For the Soft Vel SW : determines the highest key velocity to sound.
Note:
Each zone can have a separate Velocity Switch Value. By setting the
Soft Zone Velocity Switch Value higher than that of the Loud Zone a
dynamic area where both sounds pla can be created. Itis also possible
to switch Internal Zones with External Zones br even more possibilities.
6.2.14 Velocity Compression
This parameter adjusts the keyboard response.
When the value is 10 (default), the keyboard response is normal (same as
the setting in the SYSTEM).
When the value comes closer to 0, the keyboard response becomes less
dynamic and at 0, it becomes completely flat (no touch response).
