Thresholds

Use Thresholds to change where notes trigger and release within the calibrated key travel, and how aftertouch responds.

Key thresholds

The percentages refer to calibrated key travel: 0% is the rest position and 100% is the captured pressed position.

Control	Effect
Start	Starts the measurement of the press used for velocity.
End	Ends that velocity measurement window.
Note-On (≥ End)	Sets where the note triggers. It must be at or beyond End, so the velocity measurement is complete before the note is sent.
Release	Sets how far the key must rise before Note Off is sent.
Retrigger	Sets the return point that prepares a held key for another strike without requiring a full release.

With Hammer model enabled, the virtual hammer determines the note start, so Start, End and Note-On do not apply. Release and Retrigger still apply.

Aftertouch

Control	Effect
Deadband (%)	Leaves an inactive part of the calibrated aftertouch range above the normal pressed position. Increase it if aftertouch starts too easily.
Gate (ms)	Delays aftertouch after Note On to keep the initial strike from immediately producing pressure data.
Attack (ms)	Controls how gradually aftertouch rises once it is allowed through the gate. Set 0 for an immediate rise.
Release (ms)	Controls how gradually aftertouch falls back towards zero.

Check the result

Play a key and use Live Visualizer to compare its movement with the thresholds. Sensor scope shows the movement over time; choose the time span, use Single for one capture or Pause to inspect the trace.
