Velocity
When you play your Q mini, the sound you hear will be affected by how hard you press the key. Pressing the
key very lightly will result in the sound from your software being heard very softly, while pressing the key
very hard will result in it being heard very loudly. Normal playing will result in the sound from your software
to be heard somewhere in between.
Your Q mini offers the velocity settings described in the table below, called Velocity Curves. While the
keyboard is in Edit mode, you can follow the instructions below to choose a Velocity Curve that either suits
your playing style or the kind of "feel" or dynamics you want an instrument part to have.
Value entered
0
1 [default setting]
2
3
From 4 to 127
To select a new Velocity Curve:
1.
Press the Edit button to engage Edit Mode and the Edit button light will illuminate to full brightness.
2.
Press the "VELOCITY" key (G, 5th white key from the left).
3.
Use the Numerical Data Entry keys (0 - 9) to enter the number of the Velocity Curve you want to use.
If you have made an error while entering the Effect number, you can press the "CANCEL" key (C, first
white key on the left) to exit Edit Mode without making any changes.
As an alternative to step 3, you can use the "+" and "-" buttons to change the value.
4.
Press the "Enter" key G (last white key on the right) to commit the change. The Edit button will dim to
normal half brightness indicating that programming is complete.
The Velocity Curve setting is retained when the keyboard is turned off.
To return the Velocity Curve to the default setting, perform the following steps:
1.
Press the Edit button to engage Edit Mode. The Edit button light will illuminate to full brightness.
2.
Press G (5th white key from the left), representing "Velocity."
3.
Press C (8th white key from the left), representing "Default", the Edit light will dim to half brightness
indicating that programming is complete.

Notes
The curve generates lower
velocities for the same force,
making it easier to play softly.
This curve is mid-way between the
other two.
The curve generates higher
velocities for the same force,
making it easier to play loudly.
This curve outputs velocity values
of 100 and 127 only, as used in
some drum machines.
Velocity is fixed at the selected
value. All notes will play at the
specified velocity.
