Adjusts the pitch of the overall sound produced by the Tone Generator block of the instrument in semitones. Settings: −24semi–+24semi
Adjusts the tuning of the overall sound produced by the Tone Generator block of the instrument in semitones. You can fine-adjust the pitch in cents. Settings: −102.4–+102.3
Shifts the pitch of the keys in octaves.
It is linked to the OCTAVE buttons on the top panel. Settings: −3–+3
The Keyboard Octave Shift setting is reset to 0 at the next startup.

The Keyboard Transpose setting is reset to +0 semi at the next startup.
Determines the actual velocity to be generated and transmitted according to the velocity with which you play notes on the keyboard.
The graph shown in the display indicates the velocity response curve. The horizontal axis represents the received velocity value (or the strength with which you have pressed the key), while the vertical axis represents the actual velocity value transmitted to the internal or external tone generators. Settings: Normal, Soft 1, Soft 2, Hard 1, Hard 2, Wide, Fixed
Normal: Commonly used setting where the linear “curve” produces one-to-one correspondence between the strength of your keyboard playing (velocity) and the actual sound change.
Soft 1: Provides increased response
Soft 2: A curve between Soft 1 and Normal
Hard 1: Provides decreased response
Hard 2: A curve between Hard 1 and Normal
Wide: Accentuates your playing strength by producing lower velocities in response to softer playing and louder velocities in response to harder playing. As such, you can use this setting to expand your dynamic range.
Fixed: Produces the same velocity value, no matter what your playing strength. The value set in Keyboard Fixed Velocity is used here.
Sends a fixed velocity to the tone generator regardless of how hard or soft you play the keyboard.
This parameter is available only when the Keyboard Velocity Curve is set to Fixed. Settings: 1–127
