Changing the Velocity Curve
These five curves determine how the actual velocity will be
generated and transmitted according to the velocity
(strength) with which you play notes on the keyboard. The
graph shown in the display indicates the velocity response
curve. (The horizontal line represents the received velocity
values (strength of your playing), while the vertical line
represents the actual velocity values transmitted to the
internal/external tone generators.)
1 Press the [UTILITY] button to call up the
Utility display, then touch [Settings] tab

[Sound] tab.
2 Select “Velocity Curve” and change the curve
setting as desired, from the pop-up menu at
the left of the display.
3 Press the [EXIT] button.
This stores the setting and returns to the previous
display.
Normal
This linear “curve” produces one-to-one
correspondence between the strength of your
keyboard playing (velocity) and the actual sound
change.
Soft
This curve provides increased response,
especially for lower velocities.
Hard
This curve provides increased response,
especially for higher velocities.
Wide
This curve accentuates your playing strength by
producing lower velocities in response to softer
playing and louder velocities in response to
harder playing. As such, you can use this setting
to expand your dynamic range.
Fixed
This setting produces the same amount of sound
change (set in Fixed Velocity below), no matter
what your playing strength.
Velocity Curve
When the parameter of the Velocity Curve is
set to “Fixed”
The velocity of the note you play is fixed at the value set
here.
Setting Local Control on/off
Local Control is usually set to on; however, in some cases
(when using with a computer and sequencer program),
you may want to turn it off so that the keyboard does not
play the internal Parts, but the appropriate MIDI
information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal
when notes are played on the keyboard. Also, the input
MIDI information is appropriately processed in this
instrument.
1 Press the [UTILITY] button to call up the
Utility display and touch the [Settings]
tab at the left side of the screen

[MIDI I/O] tab.
2 Set “Local Control” to either “ON” or
“OFF.”
3 Press the [EXIT] button.
This stores the setting and returns to the previous
display.
