216 UTILITY MODE / SYNTH SETUP
Thge SY85 offers a range of keyboard velocity curves that produce subtly differ-
ent responses to keyboard dynamics. Choose the velocity curve that best suits your
personal style of expression.

Crv (Velocity curve)

Range: 0 … 7
Controls: [CS4], [-1] [+1], Dial
Selects one of eight different velocity curves.
0: normal
1: soft1
2: soft2
3: easy
4: wide
5: hard
6: cross1
7: cross2
The velocity curves determine how the SY85 responds to different velocity
values (i.e. keyboard dynamics). Different keyboards and controllers have
different velocity sensitivity, and different players have individual preferences.
This function lets you select the velocity curve that best suits your keyboard/
controller and playing style. Try each one out to find the one you like best.
Fix Range: off, 1 … 127
Controls: [CS5], [-1] [+1], Dial
Sets an absolute velocity value. All notes played, no matter how hard they
are played, are sounded at the specified velocity value. When this parameter is
set to “off” normal keyboard velocity control is enabled.
