Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Re: What is normal touch for a VFX?

Then You Probably have to adjust the "Master Velocity Maximum". This is 
also in the Master settings.

Press "Master" and you will see where you adjust the Touch, as you have.

Press "Master" another 3 times. (There are 5 master screens rotating on 
mine, and this is on the fourth of the five screens, although that may 
differ between models.)

On that fourth Master Screen, One Setting Says "Master - Vel - Maximum = 
127". 

If your velocity is any lower, you need to set it to "127". What ever 
yours is set to, it is limiting your velocity, so anything above that 
level does not get sent to the Sound Module.

I Hope This Helps
