Figure 5 illustrates the velocity curves in the i2M musicport that can be selected. They
vary from an extreme compressor-type behaviour (Compressor 6), to an extreme
expander-like behaviour (Expander 6).
Breath Curve
Similar to MIDI velocity, the real-time loudness of your instrument can be converted to MIDI
control data. And for the same reasons given above for velocity, you may want to adjust
how this control data is created from your playing. A breath curve can be selected, using
the same curves described above for
MIDI velocity.
MIDI Configuration (Zones)
The basic element in a MIDI configuration is a zone. For MIDI to be generated, at least one
zone must be active. Six zones are provided to allow you to create elaborate sonic
textures by layering different sounds from different MIDI instruments, or by creating
harmonies on the same
MIDI instrument.
Zone Enable (on/off)
Zones can be turned on and off independently. There is no restriction on which, nor how
many, zones are enabled or disabled. Indeed you can have all zones disabled which can
be a convenient way to allow a “no
MIDI” Operating Mode to be selected.
