Hello Everyone,

I recently purchased my first synth (Korg XL) and am learning how to play and use the synth. I am currently recording the Synth into Ableton 9 using an "Apogee Duet 2"

The recording quality is very good, however, the Duet seems to be picking up on the sensitivity with which I press the keys on the Korg.

I plan to use the recorded synth as audio tracks for some electronic music and am finding that I am getting inconsistent volume levels.

This may be the wrong way to look at this issue but I wonder if there is a way to disable the "velocity sensitivity" and make it so that no matter how hard I press the keys of the Korg, it gives me the same consistent sound.

Anyone know of a way to disable the key sensitivity or know of a way to achieve consistent sound from the Korg another way?

Under the Global parameters there's a velocity curve value that can be set to Const 127.

It's all described in the manual, so I suggest downloading it and reading it, since it will save you a lot of time. You'll probably learn things you weren't specifically looking for in the process. But the best thing is to download the latest editor librarian software to explore the synth. It takes like 15 seconds to change any global setting using the software. The editor really opens up the whole inner workings of the synth in a manner that you don't get by using the knobs and LCD on it. After using the editor to learn everything it can do, then you can use the knobs and LCD to make changes the hard way, for when you need to make changes live without a computer. I recommend this approach for all of Korg's synths that have editor software because it really accelerates the learning process.
