Re: Are the CZ-3000/5000 velocity sensitive?

2012-12-03 by jpshea

To answer this question (and indeed for any MIDI synth), just check the device's MIDI Implementation Chart.

In particular, make sure there's a "yes" under the Note On Velocity - receive column.

Here's the ref from MMA:

http://www.midi.org/techspecs/midi_chart-v2.pdf

Normally, you'll find the implementation chart at the back of the user manual.
