Evolution MK-425C/MK-449C/MK461C Getting Started

Setting The Keyboard Velocity Curve

Once you have sound, you may want to adjust the way the keyboard responds to your individual playing style. The velocity curves determine the relationship between how hard the keys are struck and the corresponding velocity that the unit transmits.

We have designed 9 new velocity curves for the MK-425C/449C/461C ranging from the ultra dynamic to more constant velocity values.

Here is how you change the velocity curve:

1.Press “VELOCITY CURVE” ( 7).

MK-425C: Press “CONTROL ASSIGN” and “DATA LSB” simultaneously.

2.Type in the MIDI channel number (01-16) using the numeric keypad or the +/- keys (4).

Octave

You can shift the whole keyboard up or down to give you access to a total of 11 octaves on any of the Evolution keyboards.

1.Press “OCTAVE +” ( 8) for every octave you want to shift the keyboard up.

2.Press “OCTAVE - “ ( 8) for every octave you want to shift the keyboard down.

Transpose

You can also transpose the keyboard so that you can change the key of the music you are playing without changing the key you are playing in.

1.Press “TRANSPOSE” (OCTAVE + and OCTAVE together) ( 8).

2.Press the Octave + or - key (8) for every semi tone you want to transpose up or down.

So for instance, you may have learnt to play a piece of music in the key of C. To now play it in F you would need to press “TRANSPOSE” followed by 5 presses on the OCTAVE+ key or 7 presses on the OCTAVE - key.
