Velocity Range
_ External MIDI devices respond differently than internal presets. A velocity crossfade causes the MIDI velocity value to be scaled, but velocity may not be routed to volume on the external MIDI device.
Velocity Range
The Links - Velocity Range window allows you to control the volume of a preset (or external MIDI device) using key velocity. You might want to switch or crossfade between a piano and string preset depending on the keyboard velocity, or switch between several percussion presets. Velocity switching between Links makes it easy.
v To Velocity-Switch Between Presets or MIDI channels:
To switch between two sounds according to velocity, their Key Ranges must first overlap. Normally you would set the Key Ranges so that they completely overlap one another, then set the Velocity Ranges so they are adjacent to each other.
For example, set one velocity range to 0-63 and the other to 64-127.
v To Velocity Crossfade Presets or MIDI Channels:
To crossfade between two presets or MIDI channels according to velocity, their key ranges must overlap. Normally you will set the key ranges to the same range, as in the screen below.
The default velocity range is from 0-127 or full range. Both presets will sound regardless of what velocity is played. Set the velocity range of each sound. The next screen shows the velocity ranges set so that preset link 1 fades out the higher the key velocity, while preset link 2 fades in, the higher the key velocity. At a velocity of 64, the two sounds will be equal volume.
Adjust the fade-in and fade-out points to achieve a natural sounding crossfade. The actual crossfade points will vary depending on the sounds.

Links - MIDI Filters
The MIDI Filter Window of the Links screen is accessed by pressing the Next Page button on the front panel from the Velocity Window Links screen. A screen similar to the following appears.
You may want some of your linked presets (or external devices) to ignore continuous controllers such as the pitch wheel or keyboard pressure. The MIDI Filters allow you to enable or disable MIDI controllers for any of your external links.
In the screen above, the Pitch and Modulation wheels are being filtered out for external link 3. In other words, the external device will respond to all controllers except pitch and mod wheels.
