●[F1]-[SF2] General Keyboard

From this display you can set the keyboard-related parameters for the MOTIF.

• Octave

Determines the amount in octaves by which the range of the keyboard is shifted up or down.

❏ Settings -3~0~+3

•Transpose

Determines the amount in semitones by by which the range of the keyboard is shifted up or down. Keep in mind that this also affects outgoing MIDI data.

❏ Settings -11~ 0 ~+11

nIf you transpose beyond the note range limits (C-2 and G8), notes in the adjacent octaves will be used. For example, a transposed note of F9 will be changed to F8.

•VelCurve (Velocity Curve)

norm (normal)

This linear “curve” produces one-to-one correspondence between the strength of your keyboard playing (velocity) and the actual sound change. The harder you play, the greater the sound change.

Actual

Velocity

Keyboard velocity

soft

This curve provides increased response, especially for lower velocities. In other words, playing softly results in higher response than the “norm” curve. Use this curve if you want greater control in the low velocity range.

Actual

Velocity

Keyboard velocity

Utility mode

hard

This curve effectively lessens the overall response compared to the “norm” curve. Use this curve if you tend to play strongly and want the sound change to be less sensitive.

Actual

Velocity

Keyboard velocity

wide

This setting provides opposite response curves for lower and higher velocities. It widens the apparent dynamic range of the controller, producing less sound change in the softer range and more change in the higher range.

Actual

Velocity

Keyboard velocity

fixed

This setting produces the same amount of sound change (set in Fixed Velocity below), no matter what your playing strength. For example, you can use this to emulate the key response of conventional organs, or ensure that the sound change is absolutely uniform, no matter how hard or softly you play.

Actual velocity

Keyboard velocity

nActual velocity is output to the external MIDI device via the MIDI or USB connector, as well as to the internal tone generator block.

•Fixed Velocity

This parameter is only available if you select the “fixed” Velocity Curve above.

The velocity of the note you play is fixed at the value set here.

❏ Settings 1~127
