Yamaha SY85 5: VELOCITY

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.
