PAD SENSITIVITY FIELD
PAD VELOCITY CURVE FIELD
KEYBOARD VELOCITY CURVE – Page 4
A KEYBOARD VELOCITY CURVE describes how the keyboard on the
MPK61/MPK88 outputs MIDI velocities, based on a certain ratio of the
input / output velocity that characterizes the particular curve. The
Keyboard Velocity Curve feature is intended to help you optimize the
keys on the MPK61/MPK88 to your particular playing style and can add
expressivity and control to your performance. If you find it difficult to
achieve a comfortable velocity range for your playing style (you cannot
get a velocity of 127 even if you hit the keys very hard, or vice versa,
you get velocity 127 easily even if you hit the keys softly) you can
adjust the velocity curve as desired.
1. While in Global Mode, use [>] button to scroll to KBDCurve (page
4).
2. Turn [VALUE] dial to change Keyboard Velocity Curve.
3. Press [ENTER] to set Keyboard Velocity Curve.
Note: The default curve is "LINEAR." Logarithmic curves ("LOG 1" and
"LOG 2") are recommended for players with a lighter touch, allowing
them to play at louder volumes without playing the keys too heavily.
Exponential curves ("EXP 1" and "EXP 2") are recommended for
players with a heavier touch, allowing them to play the keys harder
without an overly loud volume.
PAD SENSITIVITY – Page 5
PAD SENSITIVITY allows you to adjust how sensitive the pads will be
to the touch. Adjust this setting if you find it hard to achieve maximum
velocity when you hit the pads hard, or if you are getting high velocities
when you hit softly.
If the Pad Sensitivity number is set to low number, it’s harder to get a
high velocity value even if you hit a pad hard. If the Pad sensitivity
number is set to high number, it may become too easy to get high
velocities even when you hit a pad softly.
1. While in Global Mode, use [>] button to scroll to PadSens (page
5).
2. Turn [VALUE] dial to change Pad Sensitivity.
3. Press [ENTER] to set Pad Sensitivity.
PAD VELOCITY CURVE – Page 6
A PAD VELOCITY CURVE describes how the pads on the
MPK61/MPK88 are outputting MIDI velocities, based on a certain ratio
of the input / output velocity that characterizes the particular curve.
The Pad Velocity Curve feature is intended to help you optimize the
pads on the MPK61/MPK88 to your particular playing style and can add
expressivity and control to your performance. If you find it difficult to
achieve a comfortable velocity range for your playing style (you cannot
get a velocity of 127 even if you hit the pad very hard, or vice versa,
you get velocity 127 easily even if you hit the pad softly) you can adjust
the velocity curve as desired.
1. While in Global Mode, use [>] button to scroll to PadCurve (page
6).
2. Turn [VALUE] dial to change Pad Velocity Curve.
3. Press [ENTER] to set Pad Velocity Curve.
