Changing velocities with the Velocity effect
Figure 230. 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.
Parameter/Option Meaning
Analysis window The frequency with which the Chord Analyzer samples the chord. Lower numbers
(smaller intervals) are more accurate, but require more computation.
Table 143.
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, go to Edit >
Preferences > MIDI - Playback and Recording 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.
