If the controller is [B1]–[B4], [L1]–[L9], [A1]–[A8], or HOLD (P1),
specify the desired “Button mode setting” (p. 55).

* If you assign a note message to [R1]–[R9], [S1]–[S9], or EXPRESSION (P2), setting the

controller to the maximum position will transmit a note message with the specified
velocity value. When you slightly lower the controller from its maximum position, a
note message with a velocity value of 0 will be transmitted.

* If you assign a note message to [B1]–[B4], [L1]–[L9], or HOLD (P1), turning the

controller On will transmit a note message with the specified velocity value. Turning
the controller Off will transmit a note message with a velocity value of 0.

* If you assign a note message to [A1]–[A8], the velocity will change depending on the

force with which you strike the pad.
