The Pressure (PRESS) Page
The PC3K features mono pressure, commonly called aftertouch on other keyboards.
A word about pressure: Key Range in a zone does not define which notes will generate pressure
in that zone. If pressure is enabled in a zone, playing with aftertouch anywhere on the keyboard
will produce data. For example, if Zone 1's Key Range is C3–C5 and you play C2 and push
down on the note, pressure messages will be sent from Zone 1. As with any other physical
controller, however, you can disable pressure in any zone, or scale it or offset it differently in the
various zones. It might help to think of pressure as an extra wheel—wheels operate in a zone
regardless of Key Range, and so does pressure.
The PRESS page parameters are described in Continuous Controller Parameters on page 7‐30.
Note: MIDI pressure generated on the PC3K keyboard is first affected by any Pressure Scale, Offset, and
Curve settings made on each zone's PRESSURE page. The resulting pressure values are then affected by
any Press Map settings made on the Master Mode II page (see page 11‐6.) Also, MIDI pressure messages
sent to the USB or MIDI out port are first affected as explained above, and then affected by settings on the
MIDI mode Transmit page (see page 10‐1.)
