also changes the response, but in a more direct way, by adding or subtracting a
constant to the key velocity. For example, if this is set to
25
(assuming a scale of 100%), then 25 is
added to the velocity of every keystroke, usually making the sound that much louder. The
softest possible keystroke will have a value of 25, while a keystroke with velocity of 102 will
produce the same sound as a note with velocity 127 (102+25=127). Negative values diminish the
response: a setting of
-25
means the loudest velocity available will be 102, while any keystroke
25 or below will produce a velocity of 1 (a velocity value of zero has a special meaning in MIDI
and cannot be used for Note Ons).
You can think of Scale as being a proportional change to the velocity, while Offset is a linear
change. The maximum values for Offset are
±127
.
The following illustration shows the effects of
Velocity Offset. Note that Velocity Offset is the only parameter changed in this example; the
other parameters are set to their defaults (scale =
100%
, curve =
linear
, min =
1
, max =
127
).
