Changing Velocities with the Velocity Effect
Figure 101. MFX Velocity
The Velocity effect lets you adjust velocities of MIDI notes. You can set velocity values, set scale
values, add specific or random offsets, create smooth transitions, and limit the velocity range.
The velocity effect options are as follows:
Note: When analyzing chords you may see chords being displayed before you hear them. You
can reduce the amount of time these chords appear ahead of playback. To do so, open the MIDI
tab in the Global Options dialog (Options > Global) and enter a lower value in the Prepare
Using “N” Milliseconds Buffer option. Excessively low values may cause glitches during
playback, so it is best to gradually reduce the value in this option until the desired result is
achieved.
Parameter/Option Meaning
Set all velocities to X Sets all velocities to the specified value.
Change velocities by X Adds a specified increment to all velocities.
Scale velocities to X% of their
current value
Multiplies all velocities by a constant factor.
Change gradually from X to Y Creates a smooth velocity change across the selection.
Change gradually from X% to
Y%
Scales velocities by a gradually changing factor.
Limit range from X to Y Brings all velocities into the specified range.
