external device.
Orch. Bass/Free Bass/Chord Touch
(1~10, Default setting: 8) This parameter
allows you to specify the velocity sensi-
tivity of the bass buttons, which are Obt
used to play bass notes and chords (in Bass mode), or
bass notes (in Free Bass mode). Again, your selection
only applies to the MIDI messages transmitted by the
currently active ORCH section(s).
There are two exceptions, however: the Ac. Guitar and
Ac. Piano sounds of the ORCH FREE BS section are
velocity sensitive and therefore respond to your striking
force and/or bellows movements (depending on the
option you select).
See Orchestra Touch above for a discussion of the
available options.
