Editing velocity
1.
From the Edit menu, choose MIDI Processes and Filters. The MIDI Processes and Filters dialog is displayed.
2.
Select the Velocity tab.
3.
Select a check box to indicate whether you want to edit note-on or note-off velocities:
Item Description
Change Start Velocity Select this check box to edit note-on velocities.
Change Release Velocity Select this check box to edit note-off velocities.
4.
Select a radio button to indicate how you want to change velocity:
Item Description
Invert Select this radio button to invert selected note velocities. When you invert a velocity, it is subtracted from
127 (negative values are forced to positive) so a note with a velocity of 127 will be 0 after inversion, a
velocity of 10 will be 117, and so on.
Set to Select this radio button and drag the slider to change note velocities to a specific value.
Add Select this radio button and drag the slider to add (or subtract) a constant offset to selected note
velocities.
Scale by Select this radio button and drag the slider to multiply selected note velocities by a percentage. For
example, setting this slider to 50% would reduce all note-on or note-off velocities by half.
Limit Select this radio button and type values in the Min and Max boxes to restrict selected note velocities to
the specified range. For example, if you type 40 in the Min box and 90 in the Max box, velocities below 40
will be set to 40, velocities greater than 90 will be set to 90, and velocities between 40 and 90 will be
unaffected
Change over time Select this radio button and type values in the From and To boxes to change velocity values gradually
over time. The velocity for the first note in the selection is set to the From value, and the velocity for the
last note in the selection is set to the To value. Select the By percentage check box to change velocity
over time based on the current values. For example, to fade a selection in, select the By percentage check
box and type 1 in the From box and 100 in the To box. To fade a selection out, type 100 in the From box
and 1 in the To box. Drag the Curve slider to choose the fade curve that will be used to generate velocity
for notes between the first and last note.
Note:
Note-on velocities are bound between 1 and 127 while note-off velocities are bound between 0 and 127.
