to new velocities before letting them pass. The default map provides the widest range of velocity
expression, but you may want to choose a different map if the default does not suit your playing
style. See the diagram above for the other pages that affect the MIDI attack velocity before and
after reaching the Master Velocity Map.
The default map, Linear, allows MIDI velocities to pass unchanged. Light 1-3 make it
increasingly easier to produce high MIDI velocity values for the same key strike velocity (with
Light 3 being the easiest,) so these maps may work better for users who play with a lighter touch.
Hard 1-3 make it increasingly harder to produce high MIDI velocity values for the same key
strike velocity (with Hard 3 being the hardest,) so these maps may work better for users who play
with a harder touch. Piano Touch simulates the general velocity response of an acoustic piano,
and is best suited for playing acoustic piano programs. Easy Touch is similar to the Light
settings, making high velocities easier to play, but it allows more sensitive control over playing
high velocities by not boosting the MIDI velocity for fast strike velocities as much as it does for
medium strike velocities. GM Receive mimics the velocity map commonly used by keyboards
that use the General MIDI (GM) sound set. The GM Receive map makes medium strike velocities
produce higher MIDI velocities compared to the Linear map. GM Receive effects notes from the
PC3A's keyboard as well as the MIDI in port. This map is automatically used when the PC3A is in
GM mode (see General MIDI Mode (GM On, GM Off) below,) though users may want to use the
GM Receive map when generating MIDI outside of GM mode which will later be played back by
a GM system.
