added to this page for increased controller assignment versatility and considerably
enhanced master-keyboard functionality.

UTIL/SYSTEM/CURVE
Velocity Curve
¯ Normal, Soft, Wide, Hard, Fix1, Fix5 … Fix127
In addition to the original Normal, Soft, Wide, and Hard settings, the
Velocity Curve parameter now has a range of Fix settings (i.e. the velocity can be
Fixed at a wide range of constant levels).
After Touch/Breath Curve
¯ -16 … 0(Normal) … 16, Wide
Instead of the original Normal, Soft, Wide, and Hard settings, the Version
2 After Touch Curve and Breath Curve parameters have been expanded to cover a
range from -16 through 0 (Normal) to +16 and Wide. In the new system a setting of -9
corresponds to the Soft setting in the original VL modes. Toward the other end of the
range a setting of 9 corresponds to the original Hard setting.

UTIL/SYSTEM/BREATH MODE
Version 2 makes it possible to assign pressure control to keyboard velocity or
touch EG so that the all-important VL pressure characteristics can be taken full advantage
of even without using a breath/wind controller.
Mode
¯ BC/WX, Velocity, Touch EG
Selects the physical controller which will be assigned to the VL pressure controller.
Select BC/WX for normal control via a BC1/BC2 breath controller or WX7/WX11
Wind Controller; Velocity to control pressure via keyboard initial touch response; or
Touch EG to control pressure via a touch EG.
Breath Controller data will be ignored when Velocity or Touch EG is selected.
Vel Ofst (Velocity & Touch EG Modes)
¯ 0 … 127
The value of the Vel Ofst (Velocity Offset) parameter is added to the actual
keyboard velocity value, thus offsetting the velocity to produce the ideal pressure
response. This parameter appears only when the Velocity or Touch EG mode is
selected.
