1–127 Specifies the velocity when Curve=FIXED.
0–15 Specifies the volume of the weakest strike.
-24–24 Specifies the pitch in semitone units.
-50–50 Specifies the pitch in one-cent units (1/100 of a semitone).
Lets you modify the pitch by pressing the hi-hat pedal. This specifies the
-24–24
maximum amount of change in semitone units.
Specifies the instrument's decay time (DECAY). Larger values make the decay
time longer.

* For some instruments, this setting might not affect the tonal character.
Specifies the openness of the hi-hat. If this is NORMAL, the openness depends on

Specifies the instrument's panning (the position from which the sound is heard

Selects whether the sound of the instrument is output only to MFX or to both

0–127 Specifies the volume level sent to MFX separately for Main and for Sub.
0–127 Specifies the volume level sent to Ambience separately for Main and for Sub.
Adjusts the tonal character (layer equalizer) separately for Main and for Sub. You
can adjust the tonal character by specifying the boost/cut for each of three bands

The standard setting. This produces the most natural
correspondence between playing dynamics and volume
change.
Compared to LINEAR, strong dynamics produce a greater
change.
Compared to LINEAR, a soft playing produces a greater
change.
Extreme changes are made in response to playing
dynamics.
The sound is heard at a fixed volume regardless of your
playing dynamics.
