mapping will take effect. Outside of the range dened by these controls, the Scale effect
will be inapplicable, and the LED light will ash to indicate that some notes are not being
processed by the effect, but are playing at their unaltered pitch.
22.7 Velocity
The Velocity Effect.
Velocity re-maps the 127 MIDI note velocity values. It can function on MIDI Note On or
Note Off messages, or both, depending on the setting of the Operation chooser.
The Out Low and Out Hi knobs control the outgoing velocity (from 1 to 127), which is
represented by the Y-axis of the X-Y display. Incoming velocities that are shown in the
display are within the range chosen by the Range and Lowest controls, and are represented
on the X-axis. The resulting curve shows how velocity is being altered by the effect.
If Lowest and Out Low are both set to zero, and Range and Out Hi are set to 127, the display
will show a straight diagonal line that indicates the equivalent of an effect bypass: Softly
played notes are being output quietly, and vice versa. If instead, Out Hi is set to zero and
Out Low to 127, the slope of the line will be reversed, and softly played notes will actually
produce the loudest output.
What happens to incoming notes that are outside of the range set with the Range and
Lowest controls? This depends on which Mode is selected.
 Clip Mode does just what it says: It clips incoming note velocities so that they stay
within the range.
