Setting the Independent Key
Transition Rate
There are two ways of setting the transition rate: using the
numeric keypad control block to enter a numeric value, or
using the Key menu to access the Transition menu for the
M/E or PGM/PST bank.
You can also display the transition rate and independent
key transition rate for each of the M/E and PGM/PST
banks, and change the settings (see page 188).
When the setup selection is for separate transition rates for
inserting or deleting a key, you can set both rates
independently. For example, with the system in the state
with the key not inserted, the transition rate setting applies
to key insertion.
