Hi folks,
i have a Roland XV5050 module. i midi it up to my Nord Stage Classic keyboard. My question please is this :-
How do i permanently/globally turn off the TOUCH SENSITIVITY ?? For some scenarios i do not need this facility (eg. when i am recording because it can be useful to have Patches sounding at a 'constant' volume), but other times i do require it (eg. on live gigs).
i would rather (if possible) make the appropriate settings on the XV5050, but if this is not possible then i will just have to do it via the Nord External Control Section.
Appreciate any help guys..........
Ta,
Paul

Re: XV5050 - Global Velocity Sensitivty (Help ??)
Hi Paul,
I am unaware of a global switch for velocity.
There is a sensitivity (you need -63) in the Performance for each part along with a velocity curve (4 is what you want) but these only effect the volume. The sound may still change with velocity.
There are lots of velocity controls in each patch and the Matrix Control allows you to send velocity to all sorts of other places.
What you need is a mapping function in your DAW.
You can do it with the mapping functions of MidiOx on a PC.
There some other utilities around that you will find on the Web.
Abelton Live has a velocity mapping facility.
Some other DAWs may have too.
All the best

Thanks very much Royce,
1 = very light
2 = light
3 = slightly heavy
4 = very heavy

Yes, basically i wanting to change Touch Sensitive instrument into a Non-Touch Sensitive instrument.I am unaware of a global switch for velocity.
Ok, again just be clear i want to (somehow) Globally turn OFF the VOLUME reception from incomming Midi messages. To make a distinction, i think VELOCITY (Curves) is more to do with the 'contour' of the 'weight' of the keys (so like on a real piano, the lower notes feel heavy and upper feel lighter). Or it can be sometimes termed as DYNANMIC where settings of :-There is a sensitivity (you need -63) in the Performance for each part along with a velocity curve (4 is what you want) but these only effect the volume.

Here, are you talking about VELOCITY SWITCHING (ie. switching between two layered patches) ?? i am only wanting to use the XV5050 for left-hand BASS SOUNDS, and i do not use this feature when playing in this scenario.There are lots of velocity controls in each patch and the Matrix Control allows you to send velocity to all sorts of other places.
i downloaded MidiOX earlier in the year but have not actually used it yet.What you need is a mapping function in your DAW.

i use Cubase.Abelton Live has a velocity mapping facility.

Yes, your are right, 'Very light ' (option 4 in our case) means that except for 'ghost' touches, the kbd will play full velocity. ie 'nearly' turning off the velocity.Ok, again just be clear i want to (somehow) Globally turn OFF the VOLUME reception from incomming Midi messages.

Also velocity can be used to affect the filter and the time of the envelope segments. Also using the Matrix Control you can use the velocity to affect a whole lot of other things.Here, are you talking about VELOCITY SWITCHING (ie. switching between two layered patches) ?? i am only wanting to use the XV5050 for left-hand BASS SOUNDS, and i do not use this feature when playing in this scenario.

You might also need MidiYoke (from the same site)i downloaded MidiOX earlier in the year but have not actually used it yet.
Can't help you there I'm afraid as I am a Sonar user.i use Cubase.
