The TRANSMIT Page
Pressure Map (Transmit)
Change the Transmit Pressure Map setting if you are triggering external MIDI gear which is
producing MIDI pressure (aftertouch) values that are too high or too low based on your playing
style (how soft or hard that you press the keys.) The default map provides the widest range of
pressure expression, but you may want to choose a different map if the default does not suit your
playing style.
The transmit Pressure Map affects the way the PC3A sends MIDI pressure (aftertouch) values to
its USB or MIDI Out port (see the circled box above for its location in the MIDI signal flow.)
Different maps output different MIDI pressure (aftertouch) values for the same received MIDI
pressure (aftertouch) value. Each map applies a different curve to received MIDI pressure
(aftertouch) values and remaps them to new values before transmitting them to the USB or MIDI
Out port (this parameter has no effect on MIDI data sent from Song mode or to the PC3A’s sound
engine.) The default map provides the widest range of pressure (aftertouch) expression, but you
may want to choose a different map if the default does not suit your playing style. See the
diagram above for the other pages that affect MIDI pressure (aftertouch) values before reaching
the transmit Pressure Map.
The default map,
Linear
, allows MIDI pressure (aftertouch) values to pass unchanged. Maps 2-4
make it increasingly easier to produce MIDI pressure values for the same physical pressure
applied to a key (with 4 “Easiest” being the easiest.) Maps 4-7 make it increasingly harder to
produce MIDI pressure values for the same physical pressure applied to a key (with 7 “Hardest”
being the hardest.)
