;Keyboard ~~Timeout~~

;Keyboard timeout

:The Keyboard screen will default back to Home Page after the set number of minutes of no user activity on the display or keyboard. Having a timeout is important because all automatic ringing is suspended while in the keyboard mode. The default is 60 minutes.

;Port

:If multiple USB keyboards are plugged in, Port selects which one is active.

;Keyboard Outside Zone

:Change to Unmuted if you want to always play the keyboard outside as well as inside.

;Touch sensitivity

:Organ keyboards typically do not measure how hard they are played. Most MIDI organ interfaces will always send a constant medium velocity. We provide MIDI input velocity sensitivity adjustment as follows.

* Full sensitivity - use with Chime Master supplied keyboards and electronic stage pianos

* Moderately louder - raise the level of any keyboard

* Maximum loudness - use with non-touch sensitive keyboards for maximum impact
