The RECEIVE Page
Pressure Map (Receive)
Change the receive Pressure Map setting if you are triggering the PC3A with external MIDI gear
which is producing MIDI pressure (aftertouch) values that are too high or too low based on your
playing style (how soft or hard that you press the keys.) The default map provides the widest
range of pressure (aftertouch) expression, but you may want to choose a dierent map if the
default does not suit your playing style.
The receive Pressure Map aects the way the PC3A receives MIDI pressure (aftertouch) values
from its USB or MIDI In port (see the circled box above for its location in the MIDI signal ow.)
Dierent maps output dierent MIDI pressure (aftertouch) values for the same received MIDI
pressure (aftertouch) value. Each map applies a dierent curve to received MIDI pressure
(aftertouch) values and remaps them to new values before letting them pass (this parameter has
no eect on MIDI data sent from the PC3A’s keyboard.) The default map provides the widest
range of pressure (aftertouch) expression, but you may want to choose a dierent map if the
default does not suit your playing style. See the diagram above for the other pages that aect
MIDI pressure (aftertouch) values before reaching the receive Pressure Map.
The default map, Linear, allows MIDI pressure (aftertouch) values to pass unchanged. Maps 2-4
make it increasingly easier to produce MIDI pressure values for the same physical pressure
applied to a key (with 4 “Easiest” being the easiest.) Maps 4-7 make it increasingly harder to
produce MIDI pressure values for the same physical pressure applied to a key (with 7 “Hardest”
being the hardest.)
