Volca Keys - disable velocity?

I've been using my Volca Keys with a 5-octave MIDI controller, which makes it a lot more playable. The only issue is that my controller has no facility to disable velocity, and I find it tricky to play at a consistent volume. Is there some internal setting on the Volca Keys to disable MIDI velocity response? I expect a monosynth to behave like a synth, not like a piano!

...than maybe trigger it with something else as what is basically a piano emulator
Or you could try to filter the velocity information sent by your midi keyboard.
Either by a hardware midi device or software.
Are you sure the keyboard does not allow to change these settings???
that would be little odd...

The MIDI controller has five preset velocity curves, but no facility for simply outputting v=127 for every note. I am not using a computer, just a MIDI cable. I know that MIDI Solutions make a box specifically for this purpose, but it costs nearly as much as the keyboard or the Volca!
