"velocity switching" effects in which different layers of a performance combination
are set up to produce sound only when the keyboard is played at a certain velocity.
You could, for example, produce a flute sound by playing softly, and a horn sound
by playing harder.

The high and low velocity limit parameters make it possible to produce a range of

The name of the currently selected voice/layer is shown in the upper right
corner of the display. The characters "ABCD" to the right of the voice name
indicate the status of each voice: a capital letter if the voice is on, a lower-case
letter if the voice is muted, and a dash if the voice is off.
Range: 1 ... 127
Controls: [CS1], [CS3], [CS5], [CS7], [-1] [+1], Dial,

Sets the lowest velocity value for a range of velocity values over which
each active layer will produce output.
Use the [CS1], [CS3], [CS5], and [CS7] sliders to set the low velocity
limits of the A, B, C, and D layer voices, respectively. It is also possible to
play any note on the keyboard at the desired velocity while holding the
[SHIFT] key.
Every note played on the keyboard (or external MIDI controller) produces a
"velocity" value that tells the tone generator how hard the note has been
played. The range of MIDI velocity values is from 1 to 127 — thus the 1 ...
127 range of this parameter.
The Low Velocity Limit parameter, in conjunction with the High Velocity
Limit parameter described below, makes it possible to specify a range of veloc-
ity values over which the selected layer will produce sound. You could, for
example, set Low Velocity Limit to "60" and High Velocity Limit to "127."
This would cause that layer to produce output only when a velocity value
between 60 and 127 was received — i.e. when a fairly loud note is played. A
second layer could then be set to produce output only when velocity values
below 60 are received, so that completely different sounds are produced on soft
and loud notes.
Voices that are turned off are indicated by "---" on the display.
