About the keyboard
You can use the keyboard to audition selected instrument devices by pressing [Option] (Mac) or [Alt] (Windows) and
clicking on the keys.
About the Receive Notes/MIDI Performance Controller checkboxes
In the lower left corner of the Programmer there is a Receive Notes field with a corresponding checkbox, and below
there are checkboxes for all standard MIDI Performance controllers (Pitch Bend/Mod Wheel/Breath/Expression/
Sustain Pedal/Aftertouch).
D These checkboxes allow you to control whether Note/MIDI Performance controller data is to be received for
each instrument device in a Combi.
D If you deactivate the “Receive Notes” checkbox the selected device will not respond to incoming MIDI note
messages.
If a non-instrument device is selected this checkbox is always deactivated.
D If you deactivate any of the Performance Controllers, the corresponding controller(s) will not be received by
the selected instrument device.
All are on by default.
Setting Velocity Ranges for instrument devices
When instrument devices are set up so that their key ranges overlap – completely or partially – you can use velocity
switching to determine which devices should be played back depending on how hard or soft you play on your MIDI
keyboard.
This is done by setting up velocity ranges.
Each time you press a key on your MIDI keyboard, a velocity value between 1-127 is sent to Record. If you press the
key softly, a low velocity value is sent and if you press it hard, a high velocity value is sent.
This velocity value determines which devices will be played and which will not.
1. Select an instrument device in the Device list to the left (non-instrument devices, e.g. effects and mixers do not
have velocity ranges).
By default, the entire range is selected (0 - 127).
2. Click in the Velocity Range Lo and Hi value fields and move the mouse up or down to set a low and high veloc-
ity range, respectively.
3. When you have set a range, the device will only be triggered by notes within this velocity range.
