Understanding Velocity
Velocity parameters control the volume of a preset using the force of a
keystroke. This section describes how to set the velocity.
By now you probably have a pretty messy sound as a result of all these
exercises. Let’s start with a clean slate.
1. Press the Load Bank button, then ENTER to re-load the bank.
(Feed floppies as directed.)
2. When the bank is loaded, activate the Dynamic Processing
module.
You do not need to specify the current zone. ESI sets the
entire keyboard as the current zone by default!
4. Select Velocity To (6).
The display will look something like this:
VELOCITY TO
Pitch: + 0%
VCA Level: + 0%
VCA Attack: + 0%
Moving on to the next velocity page we see:
VELOCITY TO
VCF Cutoff: + 0%
VCF Q: + 0%
VCF Attack: + 0%
Moving on to the last velocity page we see:
VELOCITY TO
Pan: + 0%
Sample Start: + 0%
Auxiliary Env: + 0%
Move the Data Entry Control to select different values, and note the
effects. With positive velocity sent to the VCA, the ESI plays softer as
you play softer. In other words, the ESI equates harder play with the
nominal volume setting and goes down from there as you play softer.
Continue to move the cursor to the other available parameters and vary
the Data Entry Control. Notice that the filter cutoff frequency lowers as
you play softer. The amount downward change is dependent on the
value in the display.
Filter Q is affected differently than Level or Filter Cutoff. It raises from
the initial setting as you play harder. Also, note that velocity can be set
to affect Q inversely. In other words, if the filter is set to a high Q setting,
playing harder on the keyboard will lower the Q.
✱
Tip:
Remember that the velocity-to-
envelope Attack setting interacts with the
initial envelope Attack settings. Call up the
envelope Attack parameters for the filter and
VCA and see how different values interact
with different velocity values.
