6: VELOCITY LIMIT [PERFORMANCE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 1:Layer → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → → [MENU] → 6:VelocityLimit → [ENTER/YES] The high and low velocity limit parameters make it possible to produce a range of "velocity switching" effects in which different layers of a performance combination are set up to produce sound only when the keyboard is played at a certain velocity. You could, for example, produce a flute sound by playing softly, and a horn sound by playing harder.

The characters "ABCD" to the right of the voice name indicate the status of each voice: a capital letter if the voice is on, a lower-case letter if the voice is muted, and a dash if the voice is off. Lo (Low velocity limit) Range: 1 ... 127 Controls: [CS1], [CS3], [CS5], [CS7], [-1] [+1], Dial, [SHIFT]+keyboard Sets the lowest velocity value for a range of velocity values over which each active layer will produce output. Use the [CS1], [CS3], [CS5], and [CS7] sliders to set the low velocity limits of the A, B, C, and D layer voices, respectively. It is also possible to play any note on the keyboard at the desired velocity while holding the [SHIFT] key. Every note played on the keyboard (or external MIDI controller) produces a "velocity" value that tells the tone generator how hard the note has been played. The range of MIDI velocity values is from 1 to 127 - thus the 1 ... 127 range of this parameter. The Low Velocity Limit parameter, in conjunction with the High Velocity Limit parameter described below, makes it possible to specify a range of velocity values over which the selected layer will produce sound. You could, for example, set Low Velocity Limit to "60" and High Velocity Limit to "127." This would cause that layer to produce output only when a velocity value between 60 and 127 was received - i.e. when a fairly loud note is played. A second layer could then be set to produce output only when velocity values below 60 are received, so that completely different sounds are produced on soft and loud notes. Voices that are turned off are indicated by "---" on the display. 20 PERFORMANCE EDIT MODE / 1:Layer
