Hello,

I just bought a good Bolder Sounds Bank (the Celtic one, to be exact).
Some samples are programed to be played at a high velocity (about 100, 110, 120).
As I didn't hear that sounds even with a big hit on keys, I went to the Program Osc/Pitch page. Here, at the right side, is a moving bargraph showing the velocity level with wich you are playing the key.
And, I was surprised to see the bargraph never reaching the level 127 and barely the level 100.

I remember some keyboards having the ability to calibrate the velocity.

So my question is : is it possible with the Korg Kronos ?

Thanks a lot.

If you search the forums here regarding max velocity, you'll find it's a known issue not being able to reach max velocity. I cannot reach 127 on my Kronos 61 normally.

But you should be able to reach 100 and 110, and even 120. Perhaps setting the velocity curve to 3 in the GLOBAL menu may work for you? That setting will allow you to reach higher velocities without using as much force as on the default setting of 4.

Thank you so much. I will try it.

In fact a velocity of 6 can reach 120 but on the bad side, it's impossible to play soft !!

It's incredible to see that this issue in known for years and Korg never solve it !

The solution would be easy. In the next update, Korg should offer the possibility to program a User-defined Velocity Curve in Global Mode.
