SYNTHESIZER SETUP
The Synthesizer Setup function lets you determine master tuning, keyboard velocity
settings and controller settings.
● ACCESSING SYNTHESIZER SETUP
To access the Synthesizer Setup function, from within the
Utility Mode main menu screen, position the cursor over
INITIALIZE and press ENTER, or simply press [F4]
( Synth ). The Synthesizer Setup screen will appear.
MASTER TUNE (-63 ~ + 63) - For adjusting the
overall fine tuning of the W5/W7 in steps of 1.17 cents.
The master tune setting affects only the W5/W7 s
internal tone generator, and has no effect on the note
numbers transmitted from MIDI OUT. (NOTE: You can
adjust the tuning of specific voices in the Voice Edit
Mode. For information, see page 118.)
VELOCITY (off, 1 ~ 127) - For adjusting the velocity
sensitivity response of the W5/W7 s keyboard. (NOTE:
The velocity settings affect only the W5/W7 s keyboard,
and not the internal sequencer or incoming MIDI data.)
1 ~ 127 - When Velocity is set to a specified velocity
value, all notes will be fixed to the same velocity
value regardless of your true playing velocity.
Output
Fixed value
Key velocity
FIXED VELOCITY=1~127
When playing the sound of an instrument that
normally does not respond to key velocity (such as
organ or harpsichord) it s effective to use a fixed
velocity value. It is preferable, however, to set all
velocity sensitivity parameters of the voice to 0 (in
Voice Edit Mode) since this will leave all other voices
at their normal velocity settings.
OFF - When Velocity is turned off, the W5/W7 tone
generator will respond to playing velocity in accor-
dance with the specified Velocity Curve setting.
VELOCITY CURVE (0: normal, 1: soft-1, 2: soft-2,
3: easy, 4: wide, 5: hard, 6: cross-1, 7: cross-2) -
The specified Velocity Curve setting determines the way
the W5/W7 s tone generator responds to playing
velocity when the Velocity parameter is set to off (see
Velocity, above).
The Velocity Curve setting affects only notes played on
the W5/W7 s keyboard, and can also be transmitted
from MIDI OUT. The curve setting has no effect on the
incoming note messages transmitted from external
device and received at MIDI IN.
NORMAL - Setting the Velocity Curve to Normal
means the W5/W7 s keyboard will respond to
playing speed at its basic velocity input level, as
determined by the voice s key velocity setting. (For
more information, see Voice Edit Mode, Amp
function, page 113.)
Output
Key velocity
0. Normal
SOFT-1 AND SOFT-2 - Velocity Curves 1 (soft-1)
and 2 (soft-2) allow you to increase sound output to
greater and lesser degrees at slower slower key
velocities.
Output
Key velocity
1. Soft-1
Output
Key velocity
2. Soft-2
EASY - Velocity Curve 3 (easy) allows you to slightly
increase output with faster and slower key velocities,
while producing a normal velocity curve with key
velocity values between the two extremes.
