2. Octave Shift

This parameter sets the amount of octave transposition for the

selected section.

3. KS-Damping/KS-Key

This function allows the velocity of the keyboard to be reduced

over a specified range. This may be useful when layering a

piano sound with a strings sound, in order to reduce the level

of the strings sound in the higher key range.

The damping key range is from the KS-Key to the highest key.

* This function is not available for the MIDI section.

„ Creating USER touch curves

Please refer to the User Edit explanation in the SYSTEM Menu chapter (page 74).
