Yamaha P-200 Owner's Manual - Page 59

Velocity Curves The P-200 has 10 different types of sensitivity settings for both internal voices and external MIDI instruments, organized in four categories: Normal, Soft-1~3, Hard-1~3, and Fixed-1~3. These give you wide and flexible control over how the strength of your playing affects the volume of the internal voices and external MIDI instruments. s Internal Equalizer The Internal Equalizer function lets you adjust the volume of the low, middle and high EQ ranges for the currently selected internal voice. EQ LOW= 0 % t NORMAL The Normal curve is programmed to best suit the internal Piano 1 voice. On a conventional acoustic instrument such as an acoustic piano, the harder you play, the louder the resulting sound. This velocity-to-volume relationship is more or less linear; in other words, the sound becomes louder in direct propotion to your playing strength. t Soft-1, Soft-2, Soft-3 The Soft curves are designed to increase the level of the sound with a softer playing style. q EQ (Low, Mid, High) You can boost (increase) or cut (decrease) the volume of each range independently, with -16 representing maximum volume cut, 16 representing maximum volume boost, and 0 representing normal volume. (The default for each voice is 0.) s Reverb When the P-200 is in Edit mode, pressing [REVERB] accesses the Reverb Type and Depth settings for the currently selected voice. KBD SENS.INT % soft-2e t Hard-1, Hard-2, Hard-3 The Hard curves are designed to increase the level of the sound with a stronger playing style. KBD SENS.INT % hard-1h REVERB TYPE % T=room D=4Ç Reverb type Depth q REVERB TYPE (Room, Stage, Hall, Off) You can select one of the three reverb types for the currently selected voice or turn the reverb off. q DEPTH (0 ~ 7) You can set the reverb depth value between 0 (no effect) and 7 (maximum effect). NOTE You can also access the Reverb Type and Depth parameters in Voice Play mode (see page 26). t Fixed-1, Fixed-2, Fixed-3 The Fixed curves create flat velocity response. The volume of the sound remains the same, no matter how softly or strongly the keys are played. KBD SENS.INT % fixed-1i s Modulation When the P-200 is in Edit mode, pressing [MODULATION] accesses the Modulation Type and Speed settings for the currently selected voice. MOD. TYPE % T=tremolo S=2á Modulation type Speed q MODULATION TYPE (Chorus, Symphonic, Tremolo, Off) You can select one of the three modulation types for the currently selected voice or turn the modulation off. q SPEED (0 ~ 7) You can set the modulation speed value between 0 (no effect) and 7 (maximum effect). NOTE You can also access the Modulation Type and Speed parameters in Voice Play mode (see page 27). 59
