Vel Curve Selection

ProKeys Sono provides three velocity curves to accommodate a variety of playing styles.. Three of the keys in Edit mode are dedicated to the selection of the built-in Low, Mid and Hi velocity curves.. The default curve is ‘Mid’ which will always be selected when ProKeys Sono is powered on..

Pressing one of these keys in Edit mode selects an alternative curve.

Vel Curve=LOW (F#1) makes it easier to play quietly.. This curve generates lower velocities than the default curve (MID)..

Vel Curve=MID (G#1) is a neutral curve between the low and hi velocity curves..

Vel Curve=HI (A#1) makes it easier to play loudly.. This curve generates higher velocities than the default curve (MID)..

After one of the Velocity Curve keys is pressed in Edit mode, Performance mode resumes..
