Kawai MP8II manual Key Range Hi/Lo, Velocity Switch Value

6.2.13 Key Range Hi/Lo

These two parameters define the playable key range on the keyboard for the selected zone. First, while K.Range Hi appears in the display, use the VALUE buttons to set the highest note that the selected zone can play. Next, while K.Range Lo appears in the display, use the VALUE buttons to set the lowest note that the selected zone can play.

6.2.14 Velocity Switch

Velocity switching is an extremely useful and creative tool for customizing a performance. Using Velocity Switching, it is possible to have either one sound switch to another sound at a set velocity, or even for a second sound to be added in once a certain velocity has been reached, or to have a sound drop out above or below a set velocity level.

This parameter sets the velocity switch type.

Loud:	The selected sound plays only when the key is struck harder than the Vel SW
	Val. (See next parameter)
Soft:	The selected sound plays only when the key is struck softer than the Vel SW
	Val. (See next parameter)
