KEY DELAY RELEASE OCTAVE SEMITONES DYNAMIC DYNAMIC VOLUME VOLUME Playback this MIDI key on current channel. Used with drumchannels, which have a different (pitchless) sound associated witheach key. (Reminder: MIDI key #60 corresponds to middle C).Measured in milliseconds. Used to make e.g. a slow string soundstart later. Note DELAY can also be used to make a sound startearlier. Just use a negative delay value.RELEASE affects the release time in a similar fashion as DELAYdoes the start timeTransposes the patch up or down by the specified number ofoctaves (1, -1, 2, –2, etc).Transposes the patch up or down by the specified number ofsemitones (1, -1, 2, –2, etc)Affects the MIDI velocity with which the notes are played. Caneither be integer, in which case value is added to the original value,or floating-point, in which case it acts as a multiplier.Affects the general volume of the channel used. Can either beinteger, in which case value is added to the original value, orfloating-point number, in which it is a multiplier. NOTE: Handlewith care –messing around with channel volumes will use up morechannels.WEIGHTVELOCITY-SENSITIVEVELOCITY-INSENSITIVEVELOCITY-PERFORMINGVELOCITY-NON-PERFORMING5.
