Parameter settings

Below please find a list of the PK-6 parameters you can
set.
Retrigger
Display
rEt
When this parameter is on, some special effects can
be obtained.
In MONO mode, the pedal board is monophonic: if
you press two pedals simultaneously, only the last
note played will sound. When that note is released,
the previous note will sound, so a pleasant alterna-
ting effect can be obtained.
NOTE
This parameter is only used in MONO mode.
Velocity
Display
vEl
If this parameter is on, your playing dynamics are
translated into MIDI velocity values (1~127). If you
choose a fixed value (1~127), the PK-6 transmits all
notes with that value.
Touch (velocity curve)
Display
tCh
The PK-6's pedals are velocity sensitive. If necessary,
you can select a different velocity curve to suit your
playing style.

Por
"Portamento" means that the pitch doesn't change in
clearly defined steps: it produces glides from one
note to the next. Use this parameter to specify the
speed at which those glides are carried out. The hig-
her the value, the slower the transitions.
NOTE
If the receiving MIDI instrument doesn't support this para-
meter, this setting will have no effect.

oCv
This parameter allows you to specify the pitch of the
note that is added while the [OCTAVER BASS]
