Tom banjo Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I have an xw- p1 and ctk 671--At the most inopportune time in the higher registers--when i hit pretty hard the volume goes much too high --much too quick--It is not a problem with other tones--I am wondering about a global fix==even with touch response set to 3 the ctk it is still as bad= setting velocity sensing seems also ---to little avail on the xw--any suggestions will be appreciated==I know the gain settings -EQs etc- on the system can be tweaked but thought I would ask here --thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I read your post several times, trying to understand what's going on. Are you saying both keyboards are equally an issue for you? How are you monitoring the sound from each one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akshansh - Alex Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 There is an option to decrease the volume of that part from mixer and save it. Also check if the DSP is enabled on the tone? If yes, then turn it off. I also read your post several times. For wich keyboard you're asking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom banjo Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 both in their higher range i use the mixer on the XW a lot to raise and lower the drums.I don't need to lower the volume on --- the lower octaves.Plus that puts me back to a ---song specific and after the fact area ..I guess in that domain I could try to run it thru an equalizer or compressor- I run the signal into my digital mixer from there to the amp.I come out of the headphone jack on the ctk and a mono out from the XW's line out plug. The DSP is a thought --I will take a look at which one is on --if any thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Brad Saucier Posted June 15, 2022 Solution Share Posted June 15, 2022 When you said the issue was on higher registers, that made me think your monitor speakers are probably favoring treble instead of bass. Piano tones would accentuate this trait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Here's another way to tame the top end-and Brad, you and I and pcoul had covered this awhile ago-key follow. https://www.casiomusicforums.com/index.php?/topic/16101-what-does-key-follow-do-exactly/ It's on page E-26 of the manual for the XW-P1, not sure if its the same for the CTK. But Tom-if you want to go to the trouble-by adjusting the "key follow" for the filter of your piano sound, and saving it as a new tone-you can modify how the filter setting responds to high pitches going across the octaves, and set a breakpoint for where you wish the key follow to start to change. I forget which, I think negative values will increase the filter-cut the highs, and positive will decrease it-making sounds have more treble content as you go up the octaves. I'm not in front of my XW-but I'm pretty sure you can edit the PCM tone filter settings-meaning the pianos specifically, but I could be wrong, looking strictly at the manual-this might only work for the mono synth tones so we're back to EQ. I've not used key follow on my XW-I will check this and post back. Would be a more fine-tuned method of taming highs in the upper octaves though i have used this with other synths, and it can bring a pretty dramatic change in the filter.

Tom banjo Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 I have ignored key follow--but am pretty sure I can check into that--I would not need a new tone--I can just tweak it and save it. Easy enough to punch the parameters back and forth and give it a listen--thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom banjo Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 Update--On the XW-- I was trying things effect wise and browsed Alen K's companion .I ran across his description of velocity switching and his list of tones using it..I am pretty sure going to tones not having it ,will help me getting loud ,with the others ,-----in a smoother manner...I ran thru some tones of both types side by side , -----and I like the sameness of the single waves ===I am thankful.that Alen went above and beyond--- velocity switching was completely new to my knowledge bank.---- but from his profile-- I wonder about that planet he is from--Aren't they the ones that had Walter Pigeon in that movie , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom banjo Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 Ok here we are 2 months later--my best fix --non velocity switched pianos are wimpy below middle C--so the best fix for me was to add back some velocity switched tones but to set their range to the lowest couple of octaves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
