372 Live MIDI Effect Reference
The Transpose slider can raise or lower the pitch of incoming MIDI notes by +/- 36 semitones.
You could, for example, shift a melody written in C major to G major by setting Transpose to +7
st.
Fold makes it more convenient to create scales by automatically “folding“ back notes if their
offset to the original note is greater than six semitones. For example, if Scale normally maps an
incoming C3 to A3, enabling Fold will map C3 to A2 instead.
The Range and Lowest controls work together to define the note range within which scale map-
ping will take effect. Outside of the range defined by these controls, the Scale effect will be
inapplicable, and the LED light will flash to indicate that some notes are not being processed by
the effect, but are playing at their unaltered pitch.
23.7 Velocity
The Velocity Effect.
Velocity can alter incoming MIDI note velocity values (1-127) in either a controlled or random
manner. It can function on MIDI Note On (Velocity) or Note Off (Rel. Vel.) 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 repre-
sented 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
