9.5.5.1. Knob Acceleration

There are three response curves for the encoders:

Slow (Off):

The encoders transmit every value. It takes many turns of an encoder

to move from minimum to maximum. Use this when greater precision is desired.

Medium:

When turned quickly, the encoders will skip a few values. It takes a few

turns of an encoder to move from minimum to maximum.

Fast:

When turned quickly, the encoders will skip a few more values. It may

take as few as one-and-a-half turns of an encoder to move from minimum to

maximum.

9.5.5.2. Aftertouch Curve

Linear, Exponential and Logarithmic describe the mathematical shape of the pressure-

voltage curve that determines the amplitude of the voltage transmitted while you exert

pressure on a key you are holding at the bottom of its vertical travel.

In Linear mode, the voltage is directly proportional to the pressure. In Exponential mode,

the voltage initially increases rapidly as the pressure increases, but the

rate

of increase

gradually decreases as the pressure increases further. In Logarithmic mode, the converse is

true: the voltage initially increases slowly as the pressure increases, but the

rate

of increase

accelerates as the pressure increases further.

9.5.5.3. Velocity Curve

By changing the velocity-voltage curve, you determine the way a sound characteristic such

as volume, tone or timbre responds to the speed or force with which you press a key. See

'Aftertouch Curve' above for the characteristics of each curve.

9.5.5.4. Transport Send

This setting allows you to set whether and how the KeyStep Pro will transmit transport

commands such as Stop, Rec and Play. It can either be OFF, MCC (meaning that the KeyStep

Pro will use the setting currently stored in the MIDI Control Center) or use the current

realtime setting.

9.5.5.5. Transport Receive

This setting allows you to set whether and how the KeyStep Pro will respond to transport

commands it receives over MIDI. It can either be OFF, MCC (meaning that the KeyStep Pro

will use the setting currently stored in the MIDI Control Center) or use the current realtime

setting.
