MIDI note velocity colorization
PRVColorizeVelocity=<0 or 1>, default = 1
MIDI note colors are tinted depending on their velocities. Notes will appear darker for higher
velocities and lighter for lower velocities.
This feature may be enabled (1) or disabled (0) in the [WinCake] section of the Cakewalk.ini
file. For example:
[WinCake]
PRVColorizeVelocity=0
Note event colors based on velocity
By default, note events in the Piano Roll are colorized based on velocity. Darker shades of the basic
track color indicate higher velocities. Lighter shades of the basic track color indicate lower velocities.
This behavior can be bypassed by adding the following INI variable to the WinCake section of
Cakewalk.ini (see “Cakewalk.ini” on page 1216):
PRVColorizeVelocity=0
