Parameter Value Explanation
NOTE TYPE
1/64 ( )–
2/1 (
)
Species the length of the notes you
want to enter, as a note value symbol. The
note type is the length from one note-on
to the next note-on.
GATE TIME 1–100 %
Species the gate time as a proportion of
the note type.
The gate time is the length from note-on

staccato, or a high value to produce
tenuto or slurs. Normally you’ll use a
setting of approximately “80 %.”
INPUT VELO REAL, 1–127
Species the force with which the key is
played. If you want the velocity of your
actual keystroke to be used, choose
“REAL.”
Otherwise specify the desired velocity,
using p (piano) = 60, mf (mezzo forte)
= 90, and f (forte) = 120 as approximate
guidelines.
