Title: Creating velocity mapping curve ?
Post by swayzak on Apr 10^th, 2009, 9:25am

hi

I have a pretty decent old weighted keyboard Ensoniq SDP-1 .

However it is rather skewed to lower velocities for my taste so I would like to increase the volume at lower velocities (and maybe hit the higher velocities a bit sooner - without having to smash the keys too hard !).

How would I go about this in Midi Ox ?

I guess it would be via a translation map - but I can't seem to see a "velocity" paramater to use as input ...

thanks

You need to set the message type first. Only Note On and Note Off have Velocity, so you need a map that deals with them.

Are you actually able to send a full range of values from the keyboard - you can actually hit velocity 127?

Assuming so, you'll have something like:
When input is (Note On) (Velocity 1..32); set output to (Same as input) (Velocity 1..64)
When input is (Note On) (Velocity 33..96); set output to (Same as input) (Velocity 65..112)
When input is (Note On) (Velocity 97..127); set output to (Same as input) (Velocity 113..127)

(The more rows you have, the smoother you can make the curve, of course.)

Many thanks - that's set me on the right path !
