Re: Velocity curves - Roland A8

2017-02-15 Thread Keith Reedy
Good morning Slau,

Thanks for the A-88 layout.  We have had one here in the studio for a couple of 
years and I have not been able to find a layout for it.  Thank you much.
Happy tracking.

RE: Velocity curves - Roland A8

2017-02-14 Thread Martin (Punky) Sopart
Hi Slau!

Yes, there is a kind of config mode via the keyboard of the Keystation 88 
itself.
Your description sounds very similar to the Keystation 88 manual.
The bad thing is, that there is no word about velocity in that manual.
Only an older Keystation called Keystation Pro 88 had the velocity chapter in 
its manual.
But I'll give it a try.

So far I'm trying with the MIDI real-time velocity properties to push the 
signal. Thanks Pro Tools.

Best and many thanks! / Martin

Re: Velocity curves - Roland A8

2017-02-14 Thread Slau Halatyn
Hi Martin,
Yes, it's possible to change the curve accessibly. I'll describe exactly how 
it's done below. One thing, however, is that I'm thinking that the process 
might actually be similar on the KeyStation. I'm not sure but, if it's anything 
like the KeyStation 61, it's a series of controls that are mapped to the keys 
themselves. Anyway, I'll describe the process for the A-88:

1. Press the dedicated Function button on the left side of the controller above 
the pitch bend/mod wheel.
2. Press the G#2 key which corresponds to Velocity curve.
3. Choose one of five levels from 0 to 4 which correspond to the keys D3 to F#3.
4. Press the C4 key to enter.
It couldn't be simpler. The only thing you have to do is press the right keys. 
I've created a list of the keys and their functions.  I'm pasting it below.
Hope that helps,
Slau
