Parameters
❏
VELOCITY SENSE DEPTH 0– 64 –127
❏
VELOCITY SENSE OFFSET 0– 64 –127
The force with which you play a note on MIDI keyboard is transmitted as MIDI Ve-
locity data. Strongly played notes will have a higher velocity value. The Velocity
Sense Depth and Velocity Sense Offset parameters determine the relation between
the force of the keyboard playing and the loudness of the sound that results.
If Velo Depth is increased, small differences in your playing dynamics will make a
large difference in the loudness of the sound (Fig.3). If Velo Depth is decreased, even
large differences in your playing dynamics will make only a small difference in the
loudness of the sound (Fig.2).
If Velo Offset is set higher than 64, even softly played notes (i.e., notes with a low ve-
locity) will be sounded loudly (Fig.5). If Velo Offset is set lower than 64, even strong-
ly played notes (i.e., notes with a high velocity) will be sounded softly (Fig.4).

For some settings, there
may be no sound. If so,
increase Velo Depth or
Velo Offset.
Velo Depth = 64, Velo Offset = 64 Velo Depth = 32, Velo Offset = 64
Velo Depth = 127, Velo Offset = 64 Velo Depth = 64, Velo Offset = 32
Velo Depth = 64, Velo Offset = 96 Velo Depth = 64, Velo Offset = 127
