The Global Parameters
9-4
Easy Touch This Velocity Map is similar to the Light Maps and make high MIDI
velocities easier to produce. But, it allows more sensitive control over
producing high MIDI velocities by not boosting the MIDI velocity for
fast strike velocities as much as it does for medium strike velocities.
GM Receive This Velocity Map mimics the Velocity Map commonly used by
keyboards that use the General MIDI (GM) sound set. The GM
Receive Map makes medium strike velocities produce higher MIDI
velocities compared to the Linear map. GM Receive affects notes
from the SP5’s keyboard as well as those from the MIDI in port.
Pressing both Value buttons simultaneously will set this parameter to Linear.
Pressure Map (PressMap)
The Pressure Map parameter determines the way the SP5 controls Pressure (After Touch).
Different maps generate different MIDI pressure values for the same physical key depending
on how hard you press and hold the key. You can select from any of the following settings:
Linear
Easy, Easier, Easiest
Hard, Harder, Hardest
Pressing both Value buttons simultaneously will set this parameter to Linear.
FX Select (FXSel)
The FX Select (FXSel) parameter determines how the SP5 responds to interrupts with
regards to effects. You can set this parameter to either Performance or Multitrack.
Pressing both Value buttons simultaneously will set this parameter to Performance.
With FX Select set to Performance, the SP5 minimizes disruption of existing effects
when changing Programs, and entry values will not disrupt sustained notes when changing
Programs in Program Mode. When controlling the SP5 from an external sequencer in
Program Mode, setting FX Select to Multitrack will minimize effect disruption.
Channel Enable (ChanEn)
For each of the 16 MIDI channels, you can set the Channel Enable (ChanEn) parameter
to either Enable or Disable. For each channel, setting this parameter to Enable enables
the channel to transmit and receive MIDI messages and setting it to Disable disables such
functions. Pressing both Value buttons simultaneously will set this parameter to Enable.
