Section 5 — Preset/Track Parameters TS-10 Musician’s Manual

• Press the Performance Options button again to get to the Pressure page:

Pressure Page Range: (described below)

The Pressure page enables you to assign one of three pressure modes to each Track.

• OFF — Pressure information will not be transmitted via MIDI or recorded by the sequencer,

nor will the sound assigned to the track respond to pressure locally.

• KEY — This setting enables the track to send and receive via MIDI the most expressive kind of

pressure — Poly-Key™ pressure. ENSONIQ’s exclusive Poly-Key pressure lets you add

pressure modulation to each note independently. If you press down on any particular key

within a chord, only that note will be affected by pressure — all others remain unaffected.

When a sequencer track is set to KEY, Poly-Key pressure will be recorded into the track, even

if the sound is not programmed to respond to it (see the note below about conserving

sequencer memory).

• CHAN — This enables the track to send and receive via MIDI the most common type of

pressure — channel pressure. With channel pressure, after a note is played, pressing down

harder on a key modulates every note currently playing. Like a mod wheel, channel pressure

is “global,” it affects the entire keyboard when activated. When a sequencer track is set to

CHAN, Channel pressure will be recorded into the track.

You should consult the MIDI implementation chart of the remote MIDI device you will be using

in conjunction with the TS-10 to see which (if any) type of pressure it responds to and transmits.

For best results, set the TS-10 Pressure parameter to match the type of pressure supported by the

external MIDI device which will send to or receive from the track you are setting.

The default value of Pressure Mode is stored with the Program, and is restored whenever the

Program is selected or placed on a track. The default value can be edited on the Program Control

page.

Note: You should select Track PRES=OFF whenever you don’t want or need pressure for a given

sound, particularly when sequencing. Pressure data eats up sequencer memory rapidly, so

whenever you record a track with a sound that doesn’t respond to pressure, set this parameter to

OFF. This will avoid wasting valuable sequencer memory, and will avoid clogging up the MIDI

data stream with a lot of unnecessary pressure information. Existing pressure information can

also be removed from a track using the Filter command on the Edit Track page.
