2–7a: OSC 1/2 Velocity Zone
You can specify the velocity zone for each of the four
multisamples of the oscillator. Here you will specify the
velocity zone for each oscillator.
These velocity zones take precedence over the velocity
settings for the individual MS1–4.
OSC1 Top
This sets the highest velocity at which the Oscillator 1 will
sound.
Note: The OSC1 Top velocity must be greater than the
OSC1 Bottom velocity.
OSC1 Bottom
This sets the lowest velocity at which the Oscillator 1 will
sound.
Entering velocity values from the keyboard
You can enter velocity values directly by playing them on
the keyboard. To do so:
1. Select OSC1 Top or OSC1 Bottom.
2. Hold down the ENTER switch.
3. While holding ENTER, play a note on the keyboard at
the desired velocity.
OSC2 Top
OSC2 Bottom
This specifies the maximum and minimum velocity values
for which oscillator 2 will sound.
See OSC1 Top and OSC1 Bottom, above.
2–7b: OSC1/2 Note-On Control
OSC1 Delay
This specifies the time from when you press a key until
oscillator 1 actually begins to sound.
This is most useful in Double Programs, for delaying one
oscillator in relation to the other.
KeyOff is a special setting. Instead of delaying the sound by
a particular amount of time, the sound will play as soon as
you release the key. You can use this to create the "click"
heard when a harpsichord note is released, for instance.
In general, when you use the KeyOff setting, it's also best to
set the oscillator's Amp EG Sustain Level to 0.
Mode
Normally, you play notes simply by pressing keys on the
keyboard. In special cases, however, you can set this
parameter so that you must first be holding down the

damper pedal, and then press a key, in order to play a note.
For instance, this can be useful when modeling the behavior
of a piano soundboard.
Key is the normal mode.

Menu
When you select Key + Damper, notes will only sound if the
damper pedal is being held down. When the damper pedal
is released, all notes will be stopped–even if they are still
being held down.
OSC2 Delay
Mode
2–7c
This specifies the time from when you press a key until
oscillator 2 actually begins to sound.
See OSC1 Delay and Mode, above.

This shows the velocity zone.
