Velocity Curve/Aftertouch Curve
These curves indicate the conversion of the strength with which a Pad is operated to a numerical value. The horizontal axis indicates how hard a Pad is operated (how hard the Pad is hit or pressed further) and the vertical axis indicates the corresponding numerical value (Velocity or Aftertouch). This product features 25 curve types that are the same for both Velocity and Aftertouch. The desired curve can be selected as a Trigger setting item below.
