Touch Select Mode

The Touch Sensitivity setting, sometimes referred to as the velocity curve, lets you decide how the pressure with which you hit a key determines the volume at which the note plays. DCP-300 provides you with three different sensitivity options:

<Normal is the default setting, and is designed to be useful for most players with an “average” touch (i.e.: people who play with an average amount of force).

<Low is a sensitivity setting that generates lower velocity values for the same force. This setting is useful for playing more quietly, even if you tend to strike the keys harder.

<High is a sensitivity setting that generates higher velocity values for the same force. This setting is useful for playing more loudly, even if you tend to strike the keys with less force.

<Fixed is essentially the “off” setting, effective when when the Touch button is not lit. The same velocity value is sent regardless of how hard or how softly you strike the keys. The default Fixed velocity value is 100 (on a scale of 0-127), and can be adjusted (see next page).

To select a Touch Sensitivity setting (Normal, Low, or High):
