PAD SENSITIVITY – Page 5
A KEYBOARD VELOCITY CURVE describes how the keyboard on the MPK61/MPK88 outputs MIDI velocities, based on a certain ratio of the input / output velocity that characterizes the particular curve. The Keyboard Velocity Curve feature is intended to help you optimize the keys on the MPK61/MPK88 to your particular playing style and can add expressivity and control to your performance. If you find it difficult to achieve a comfortable velocity range for your playing style (you cannot get a velocity of 127 even if you hit the keys very hard, or vice versa, you get velocity 127 easily even if you hit the keys softly) you can adjust the velocity curve as desired.
1.While in Global Mode, use [>] button to scroll to KBDCurve (page 4).
2.Turn [VALUE] dial to change Keyboard Velocity Curve.
3.Press [ENTER] to set Keyboard Velocity Curve.
Note: The default curve is "LINEAR." Logarithmic curves ("LOG 1" and "LOG 2") are recommended for players with a lighter touch, allowing them to play at louder volumes without playing the keys too heavily. Exponential curves ("EXP 1" and "EXP 2") are recommended for players with a heavier touch, allowing them to play the keys harder without an overly loud volume.
PAD SENSITIVITY FIELD
PAD SENSITIVITY allows you to adjust how sensitive the pads will be to the touch. Adjust this setting if you find it hard to achieve maximum velocity when you hit the pads hard, or if you are getting high velocities when you hit softly.
If the Pad Sensitivity number is set to low number, it’s harder to get a high velocity value even if you hit a pad hard. If the Pad sensitivity number is set to high number, it may become too easy to get high velocities even when you hit a pad softly.
1.While in Global Mode, use [>] button to scroll to PadSens (page 5).
2.Turn [VALUE] dial to change Pad Sensitivity.
3.Press [ENTER] to set Pad Sensitivity.
