Maybe a trivilial question: how to turn off the dynamic key.

[maro0001]

Hello everybody

My friend and I are beginners with this sort of thing. He bought a Korg TR61 Music Workstation model and we just can figure it out how to turn off the dynamic keyboard.

By the dynamic keyboard (not sure if it is the correct term) I mean the thing that controls how loud the key will play depending on the "force" or how you push it.

So please could anyone tell us how to turn this feature off?

Thank you very much

This is known as velocity sensitivity.

the velocity sensitivity isn't a 'feature' as such - it is a basic feature and standard to most synthesizers of this class.

you can't turn it on or off globally for everything, because how the information (how hard you hit the key) is used varies between programs. sometimes it alters the tone, sometimes the volume, sometimes the pitch, or any combination of these.
it can even alter the envelope settings (attack, decay, release).
you would have to go through every program and disable every velocity routing setting.

you can change the velocity curve to your preference in global mode, which adjusts the sensitivity (not exactly, but kind of) of the velocity input.

I'd learn to get used to playing that way. A half-decent keyboard player should be able to play things at a constant volume if that's what you want to do. The uniform volume of older synths was a limitation based on the technology they had at the time, not a benefit.

The exception would be organ patches which often times have the "velocity sensitivity" disabled to better mirror the sound and feel of the real instrument. As a piano player i don't prefer to play them this way but, I think it can be replicated easily.

go in Global and set the velocity curve to 8. That will give you the LEAST amount of differenct. Almost none.
