4. Velocity Curve
Edit the keyboard’s response to your playing velocity.
This option affects the velocity values that are generated when you
play the keyboard; it has no effect on incoming MIDI notes.
Options are linear low, medium and high; exponential low,
medium and high; and logarithmic low, medium and high.
Linear Exponential Logarithmic
Press the control knob to edit the velocity curve. Turn the control
knob to select a new curve. Press the control knob again to accept
the curve setting and return to the main config menu.
5. Local Control
Turn the control knob clockwise once to edit the keyboard’s local
control setting. Options are “on,” “off,” or “off + send ptns.”
By default, local control is set to “on.” Set to “on,” the Micron
functions normally–the keyboard, pitch wheel, sliders,
footswitches, and pedal all play the Micron.
Setting local control to “off” disconnects the Micron’s sound
engine from all of these controllers.
Leave local control “on” in most situations. There are three main
exceptions:
a. External Sequencers
Consider turning local control “off” when you use MIDI cables to
connect the Micron to an external sequencer, such as a computerbased
or standalone Digital Audio Workstation. When you record
with a sequencer, usually that sequencer “echoes” back whatever
you play into it. So, if you leave local control on, everything you
do play will trigger twice–once as a result of your playing, and once
as the sequencer replays what you’ve just played. This is generally
undesirable.
