Evolution MK-425C/MK-449C/MK461C Getting Started
12
Once you have sound, you may want to adjust the way the keyboard responds to your
individual playing style. The velocity curves determine the relationship between how hard
the keys are struck and the corresponding velocity that the unit transmits.
We have designed 9 new velocity curves for the MK-425C/449C/461C ranging from the
ultra dynamic to more constant velocity values.
Here is how you change the velocity curve:
1.
Press “VELOCITY CURVE” (7).
MK-425C: Press “CONTROL ASSIGN” and “DATA LSB” simultaneously.
2. Type in the MIDI channel number (01-16) using the numeric keypad or
the +/- keys (4).
You can shift the whole keyboard up or down to give you access to a total of 11 octaves
on any of the Evolution keyboards.
1.
Press “OCTAVE +” (8) for every octave you want to shift the keyboard up.
2. Press “OCTAVE - “ (8) for every octave you want to shift the keyboard down.
You can also transpose the keyboard so that you can change the key of the music you are
playing without changing the key you are playing in.
1.
Press “TRANSPOSE” (OCTAVE + and OCTAVE together) (8).
2. Press the Octave + or - key (8) for every semi tone you want to transpose up
or down.
So for instance, you may have learnt to play a piece of music in the key of C. To now play
it in F you would need to press “TRANSPOSE” followed by 5 presses on the OCTAVE+
key or 7 presses on the OCTAVE - key.
