Yamaha P-150 Musical Instrument User Manual


 
Velocity Curves
The P-150 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.
NORMAL
The P-150’s Normal setting represents the standard linear “velocity-
to-volume” relationship.
On a conventional acoustic instrument such as an acoustic piano,
the harder you play, the louder the resulting sound. Generally, this
velocity-to-volume relationship is linear, i.e., the sound becomes
louder in direct proportion to the strength with which you play, as
shown in the following graph.
Soft-1, Soft-2, Soft-3
The Soft curves are designed to increase the level of the
sound with a softer playing style.
Hard-1, Hard-2, Hard-3
The Hard curves are designed to increase the level of the
sound with a stronger playing style.
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.
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, 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.)
Reverb
When the P-150 is in Edit mode, pressing [REVERB]
accesses the Reverb Type and Depth settings for the
currently selected voice.
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.
DEPTH (0 ~ 7)
You can set the reverb depth value between 0 (no effect) and 7
(maximum effect).
You can also access the Reverb Type and Depth parameters in Voice
Play mode (see page 22).
Modulation
When the P-150 is in Edit mode, pressing [MODULATION]
accesses the Modulation Type and Speed settings for the
currently selected voice.
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.
SPEED (0 ~ 7)
You can set the modulation speed value between 0 (no effect)
and 7 (maximum effect).
You can also access the Modulation Type and Speed parameters in
Voice Play mode (see page 23).
