Velocity Curves
The P-150 has 10 different types of sensitivity settings for
both internal voices and external MIDI instruments,
organized in four categories: Normal, Soft-1~3, Hard-1~3,
and Fixed-1~3.
These give you wide and flexible control over how the
strength of your playing affects the volume of the internal
voices and external MIDI instruments.
❏ NORMAL
The P-150’s Normal setting represents the standard linear “velocity-
to-volume” relationship.
On a conventional acoustic instrument such as an acoustic piano,
the harder you play, the louder the resulting sound. Generally, this
velocity-to-volume relationship is linear, i.e., the sound becomes
louder in direct proportion to the strength with which you play, as
shown in the following graph.
❏ Soft-1, Soft-2, Soft-3
The Soft curves are designed to increase the level of the
sound with a softer playing style.
❏ Hard-1, Hard-2, Hard-3
The Hard curves are designed to increase the level of the
sound with a stronger playing style.
❏ Fixed-1, Fixed-2, Fixed-3
The Fixed curves create flat velocity response. The volume
of the sound remains the same, no matter how softly or
strongly the keys are played.
■ Internal Equalizer
The Internal Equalizer function lets you adjust the volume of
the low, middle and high EQ ranges for the currently
selected internal voice.
● EQ (Low, Mid, High)
You can boost (increase) or cut (decrease) the volume of each
range independently, with -16 representing maximum volume
cut, 16 representing maximum volume boost, and 0 representing
normal volume. (The default for each voice is 0.)
■ Reverb
When the P-150 is in Edit mode, pressing [REVERB]
accesses the Reverb Type and Depth settings for the
currently selected voice.
● REVERB TYPE (Room, Stage, Hall, Off)
You can select one of the three reverb types for the currently
selected voice or turn the reverb off.
● DEPTH (0 ~ 7)
You can set the reverb depth value between 0 (no effect) and 7
(maximum effect).
You can also access the Reverb Type and Depth parameters in Voice
Play mode (see page 22).
■ Modulation
When the P-150 is in Edit mode, pressing [MODULATION]
accesses the Modulation Type and Speed settings for the
currently selected voice.
● MODULATION TYPE (Chorus, Symphonic,
Tremolo, Off)
You can select one of the three modulation types for the
currently selected voice or turn the modulation off.
● SPEED (0 ~ 7)
You can set the modulation speed value between 0 (no effect)
and 7 (maximum effect).
You can also access the Modulation Type and Speed parameters in
Voice Play mode (see page 23).
