Velocity Range

Velocity Range

The Velocity Range screen allows you to control the volume of a voice by the key velocity. Using this function, you can crossfade or cross-switch between voices by key velocity. Suppose you had several samples (voices) of the same piano note, one played soft, the next played medium hard, and the third played hard. Using this function, you could set the velocity at which each of the voices would sound, thus recreating the response of the actual instrument.

6.The default velocity range is from 0-127 or full range. Set the velocity fades so that voice one fades out the higher the key velocity, while voice 2 fades in, the higher the key velocity. At a velocity of 64, the two sounds will be equal volume. Adjust the fade-in and fade-out points to achieve a natural sounding crossfade. The actual crossfade points will vary depending on the sounds.
