Vel (Velocity) Zone tab (Velocity zone settings)

For each timbre, you can specify a range of velocities for which it will sound. The range of velocities for which a timbre will sound is called the Velocity Zone. By setting a velocity zone, you can set up a timbre which will be sounded only by notes played at a cer- tain strength, and not by stronger or weaker notes.

By combining timbres that have differing velocity zone settings, you can create velocity switched combina- tions.

The upper and lower limits of the velocity zone of each timbre are determined by the “Top Velocity” and “Bot- tom Velocity” respectively. The following diagram shows an example of a velocity switched combination in velocity will switch between timbres 1 and 2 to play different programs. Such combinations are created by setting the velocity zone.

Timbre 1	Brass	127
		64	Velocity switch

Timbre 2	Strings	63
		1

1To create a combination such as shown above, ﬁrst use P0: Play or P1: Edit-program/Mixer to select the program that each timbre 1 and 2 will use.

Select a brass program for timbre 1.

Select a strings program for timbre 2.

2In P2: Edit-Trk Param, select the MIDI Channel tab. Set each timbre you are using to a “Status” of INT, and a “MIDI Channel” of Gch or the global MIDI channel. (“G” will be displayed after the channel number.)

3In P4: Edit-Zone/Ctrl Vel Zone tab, set the “Top Velocity” and “Bottom Velocity.”

Set timbre 1 to a “Top Velocity” of 127 and a “Bot- tom Velocity” of 64.

Set timbre 2 to a “Top Velocity” of 63 and a “Bottom Velocity” of 1.

You can also input the value by holding down the [ENTER] key and playing a note on the keyboard.

As an option, you could specify the range velocities, so that a portion of the two timbres overlapped, and set “Top Slope” and “Bottom Slope” so that the vol- ume would change gradually within that area. This would avoid an abrupt change in sound between velocities 63 and 64.

For each combination, you can specify the functions of the [SW1] and [SW2] keys, and the B-mode functions of REALTIME CONTROLS knobs [1]–[4] (☞p.127). (☞p.38, 217, 218 in the Parameter Guide)

P7: Edit-Arpeggiator
