The Curve key is used for changing the touch sensitivity of the keyboard and Trigger Pads, as well as the Acceleration Curve of the Encoder Knobs. This setting lets you decide how the force with which you hit a key or Pad affects the volume at which a note plays, or how fast the knobs “sweep” through value changes.

Keyboard Sensitivity Options:

1 = C1 is a sensitivity setting that generates lower velocity values for the same force. This setting is useful for playing more quietly, even if you tend to strike the keys harder.

2 = C2 is the default setting, and is designed to be useful for most players with an “average” touch (people who play with an average amount of force).

3 = C3 is a sensitivity setting that generates higher velocity values for the same force. This setting is useful for playing more loudly, even if you tend to strike the keys with less force.

4 = C4 is a sensitivity setting that generates an equal velocity value for a given amount of force, resulting in a linear (or neutral) keyboard response.

5 = F1 is a setting that effectively disables sensitivity, meaning the keyboard will generate a fixed velocity value of 64 (on a scale of 0 – 127) regardless of how hard or soft the keys are struck. This replicates velocity settings used in Organ presets.

6 = F2 is a setting that effectively disables sensitivity, meaning the keyboard will generate a fixed velocity value of 100 (on a scale of 0 – 127) regardless of how hard or soft the keys are struck. This also replicates velocity settings used in Organ presets.

7 = F3 is a setting that effectively disables sensitivity, meaning the keyboard will generate a fixed velocity value of 127 (on a scale of 0 – 127) regardless of how hard or soft the keys are struck. This also replicates velocity settings used in Organ presets.

To select a Keyboard Velocity Curve:

1. Press the Edit button.
2. Press the Curve key. The LCD screen will read “V Crv” and display the current velocity curve (for example, “C2”).
3. Do one of the following:
   • Type the Velocity Curve number (1 through 7) using the number keys.
   – or –
   • Use the Patch “Up” and “Down” buttons to scroll through the Velocity Curves (C1 through F3).
4. Press the Enter key.

Trigger Pad Sensitivity Options:

1 = C1 is a sensitivity setting that generates lower velocity values for the same force. This setting is useful for playing more quietly, even if you tend to strike the Pads harder.

2 = C2 is the default setting, and is designed to be useful for most players with an “average” touch (people who play with an average amount of force).

3 = C3 is a sensitivity setting that generates higher velocity values for the same force. This setting is useful for playing more loudly, even if you tend to strike the Pads with less force.

4 = C4 is a sensitivity setting that generates an equal velocity value for a given amount of force, resulting in a linear (or neutral) Trigger Pad response.

5 = F1 is a setting that effectively disables sensitivity, meaning the Pads will generate a fixed velocity value of 64 (on a scale of 0 – 127) regardless of how hard or soft they are struck.

6 = F2 is a setting that effectively disables sensitivity, meaning the Pads will generate a fixed velocity value of 100 (on a scale of 0 – 127) regardless of how hard or soft they are struck.

7 = F3 is a setting that effectively disables sensitivity, meaning the Pads will generate a fixed velocity value of 127 (on a scale of 0 – 127) regardless of how hard or soft they are struck.

8 = S2 is a setting where the Pads will generate a fixed velocity value of either 64 or 127 (on a scale of 0 – 127) depending on how hard or soft they are struck.

9 = S3 is a setting where the Pads will generate a fixed velocity value of either 64, 100 or 127 (on a scale of 0 – 127) depending on how hard or soft they are struck.

10 = S4 is a setting where the Pads will generate a fixed velocity value of either 32, 64, 100 or 127 (on a scale of 0 – 127) depending on how hard or soft they are struck.

To select a Trigger Pad Velocity Curve:

1. Press the Edit button.
2. Press the Curve key twice. The LCD screen will read “PdCrv” and display the current velocity curve (for example, “C2”).
3. Do one of the following:
   • Type the Velocity Curve number (1 through 10) using the number keys.
   – or –
   • Use the Patch “Up” and “Down” buttons to scroll through the Velocity Curves (C1 through F3).
4. Press the Enter key.

Encoder Knob Acceleration Options:

0 = Off is an acceleration setting where the knob will only send a value change of one step regardless of how quickly or slowly it is turned.

1 = C1 is a slower acceleration curve, useful for making finer adjustments.

2 = C2 is the standard acceleration curve (selected by default).

3 = C3 is a quicker acceleration curve, useful when large parameter sweeps are required.

To select an Encoder Knob Acceleration setting:

1. Press the Edit button.
2. Press the Curve key three times. The LCD screen will read “EnCrv” and display the current velocity curve (for example, “C3”).
3. Do one of the following:
   • Type the Velocity Curve number (0 through 3) using the number keys
   – or –
   • Use the Patch “Up” and “Down” buttons to scroll through the Velocity Curves (OFF through C3).
4. Press the Enter key.
