5-11
Velocity Scale (Vel Scale)
Increases or decreases the PC2Õs velocity sensitivity. The value for all zones in the default setup
is
100%
Ñthink of this as the normal value. Higher values increase the sensitivity; notes get
louder faster than normal as you play harder. Lower values decrease the sensitivity; notes get
louder slower than normal as you play harder. YouÕll notice the difference more when youÕre
playing hard than when youÕre playing softly.
You can set negative values for Vel Scale, but doing so isnÕt useful unless you also change the
value of the Vel Offset parameter (this is one of those interactions we mentioned). See
Vel Offset
for more information.
Velocity Offset (Vel Offset)
Adds a constant value to your keystrike velocity. The value for all zones in the default setup is
0
.
A positive value for this parameter causes an upward shift in the entire velocity curve. For
example, if you set a value of
64
, every note in that zone has a Þnal attack-velocity value of 64
greater than your keystrike velocity (to a maximum of 127, of course). So if you play a note with
a keystrike velocity of 32, the Þnal attack-velocity value is 96. Negative values for Vel Offset shift
the velocity curve downward.
Velocity Scale: 100%
Velocity Scale: 200%
Velocity Scale: 50%
as you strike the keys harder (increase the
velocity) MIDI velocity increases proportionally
MIDI velocity reaches maximum on
medium strike velocity
MIDI velocity never reaches maximum, even on
maximum strike velocity
