System settings for the PC-80

Press the
ENTER
button.
The Key Velocity mode specifies whether velocity values will be transmitted according to the
keyboard sensitivity you specified in
“VELOCITY CURVE”
(p. 92) or at a single fixed value.
The PC-80 detects the force with which you strike each key and transmits this as the velocity
value, but you can set the Key Velocity mode to a fixed value so that the same value will be
transmitted each time, regardless of how strongly (or softly) you strike the key. If you don’t
want your playing dynamics to affect the sounds you play, proceed as follows to set the Key
Velocity mode to a fixed value.
