Changing The Octave Range; Selecting The Velocity Curve - Yamaha KX25 Owner's Manual

Changing the octave range

Use these buttons to shift the note range of the
keyboard by octave, up/down to three octaves. The
initial default setting (no transpose) is recalled by
pressing both the buttons simultaneously.
Pressing the button to shifts
the range of the keyboard
down in octave.
Reverts the octave setting to
default.
The current octave range can be confirmed via the
status of the LED lamp above the button.

Selecting the Velocity
Curve
You can select the desired Velocity Curve which
indicates how velocities are applied to your
pressing strength. Use the VELOCITY CURVE
[DEC] and [INC] buttons to select a Velocity Curve.
The following Velocity Curves are available:
This curve provides increased response
Soft2 (more than "Soft1"), especially for lower
velocities.
This curve provides increased response,
Soft1
especially for lower velocities.
This linear "curve" produces one-to-one
correspondence between the strength of
Normal
your keyboard playing (velocity) and the
actual sound change.
This curve effectively lessens the overall
Hard1
response compared to the "norm" curve.
A stronger playing produces the velocities
according to the curve almost equivalent to
Hard2 "Normal" and a softer playing decreases
the response. This curve is suitable for
playing the HALionOne.
Press the VELOCITY CURVE [DEC] and [INC]
buttons simultaneously to select "Fix." The Fix
setting lets you play the notes with the fixed velocity
no matter how hard or soft you play the notes.
You can set the fixed velocity by pressing one of
the VELOCITY CURVE [DEC] and [INC] buttons.
Pressing both the buttons simultaneously exits from
this status (Fix setting) to the last selected Velocity
Curve.
NOTE
From the Utility display (page 26), you can
select a Velocity Curve and specify the
velocity value carefully when the Fix is
selected. For details, refer to "Utility
Settings" on page 34.
