Alesis micron Reference Manual

 

Edit the keyboard’s response to your playing velocity.   
 
This option affects the velocity values that are generated when you 
play the keyboard; it has no effect on incoming MIDI notes. 
 
Options are linear low, medium and high; exponential low, 
medium and high; and logarithmic low, medium and high.   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
        Linear                         Exponential                  Logarithmic 
 
Press the control knob to edit the velocity curve.  Turn the control 
knob to select a new curve.  Press the control knob again to accept 
the curve setting and return to the main config menu. 
 

Turn the control knob clockwise once to edit the keyboard’s local 
control setting.  Options are “on,” “off,” or “off + send ptns.” 
 
By default, local control is set to “on.”  Set to “on,” the Micron 
functions normally–the keyboard, pitch wheel, sliders, 
footswitches, and pedal all play the Micron. 
 
Setting local control to “off” disconnects the Micron’s sound 
engine from all of these controllers. 
 
Leave local control “on” in most situations.  There are three main 
exceptions: 
 
a.  External Sequencers 
Consider turning local control “off” when you use MIDI cables to 
connect the Micron to an external sequencer, such as a computer-
based or standalone Digital Audio Workstation.  When you record 
with a sequencer, usually that sequencer “echoes” back whatever 
you play into it.  So, if you leave local control on, everything you 
do play will trigger twice–once as a result of your playing, and once 
as the sequencer replays what you’ve just played.  This is generally 
undesirable.
