2.1 The Keyboard

When you play the keyboard, MIDI note messages are sent. These messages are read by your computer software or external MIDI gear and used to generate sound accordingly.

Every time you press a key, a MIDI note message is sent with a velocity value between 0 and 127; this value speciﬁes how hard you pressed the key. A velocity value of 0 speciﬁes that the key has been released. Since different people have different playing styles, your Axiom offers a number of different velocity curves. You should experiment with the different velocity curves to ﬁnd the curve that best suits your playing style.

It is also possible to send ﬁxed velocities each time you press a key. This is useful when composing drum parts or simple synthesizer tracks. The ﬁxed velocities are selected by assigning curve 10 to 12 as follows:

Curve	Fixed Velocity Value

F10	64

F11	100

F12	127
