5-19
Minimum Velocity (Min) and Maximum Velocity (Max)
These parameters work in tandem to define the velocity range for the zone. If the final attack-
velocity value of a note is below the minimum or above the maximum, the note won’t sound.
Note that it’s not your keystrike velocity that determines whether the note sounds, but your
keystrike velocity plus (or minus) the adjustments applied by the other velocity parameters.
In the default setup, these parameters are set to values of 1 and 127 for all zones. Intuitive entry
works nicely for editing: hold down the Enter button, and strike any key. Your keystrike
velocity sets the value.
You can also set the value of the Min parameter higher than the value of the Max parameter for
any zone. In this case, the zone plays outside the velocity range—that is, you’ll hear notes when
the final attack-velocity value is below the minimum or above the maximum. Final attack-
velocity values within the velocity range don’t produce notes.
