Vel (Velocity) page
For each timbre, you can specify a range of velocities
for which it will sound. The range of velocities for
which a timbre will sound is called the Velocity Zone.
By setting a velocity zone, you can set up a timbre
which will be sounded only by notes played at a cer-
tain strength, and not by stronger or weaker notes.
By combining timbres that have differing velocity zone
settings, you can create velocity switched combina-
tions.

The upper and lower limits of the velocity zone of each
timbre are determined by the “Top Velocity” and “Bot-

shows an example of a velocity switched combination
in velocity will switch between timbres 1 and 2 to play
different programs. Such combinations are created by
setting the velocity zone.

2 In the MIDI page of 3.1: Ed-Param1, set “Status” to
INT for all the timbres that you wish to use, and
set “MIDI Channel” to either Gch or to match the
global MIDI channel (a “G” will be displayed
after the channel number).

You can also enter these values by holding down
the [ENTER] key and playing a note on the key-
board of this instrument.

Here you can specify the range of values over which
the original volume will be reached, starting from the
top velocity and bottom velocity.

top velocity and bottom velocity.
In the case of the above example, you could set the
velocity zones of the two timbres so that they partially
overlap, and set “Top Slope” and “Bottom Slope” so
that the sound changes gradually, instead of changing
suddenly between velocity values of 63 and 64.

MIDI filter does not turn the function itself on/off,
but specifies whether or not that MIDI message
will be transmitted and received. For example if
portamento is on, portamento will be applied to
the sound of this instrument even if “Portamento

For example if you selected a bass program for timbre
1 and a piano program for timbre 2 to create a split-
type combination, you could make the following set-
tings so that pressing the connected damper pedal
would apply the damper effect only to the piano pro-
gram of timbre 2.
