 handled as a CC with the highest possible value of 127 within 
ELECTRI6ITY. 

  

 

12.5  VMT | Velocity Curve

 You can change the characteristic of the 

velocity curve for VMT articulations here. If you set the curve to ‘soft’ it 
will be easier to play notes with a low velocity. If you set the curve to 
‘hard’ it will be easier to play notes with a high velocity.

  

 

12.6  VMT | Velocity Curve | Retrigger 

You can change the 

characteristic of the velocity curve for VMT articulations if played with 
the trigger keys here. If you set the curve to ‘soft’ it will be easier to play 
notes with a low velocity. If you set the curve to ‘hard’ it will be easier to 
play notes with a high velocity.

  

 

12.7  VMT | CC Curve

 You can change the characteristic of the CC 

response if controlling the velocity of a VMT articulation via CC here.

  

 12.8  AMT | Velocity Curve

 You can change the characteristic of the 

velocity curve for AMT articulations here. Let’s take the ‘AMT Full’ 
articulation as an example: If you set the curve to ‘soft’ it will be easier 
to play muted notes and you’ll need to hit the keys harder for open 
notes. If you set the curve to ‘hard’ it will be easier to play open notes 
and you’ll need to hit the softer to play muted notes. Play with these 
settings until you get an response which fits your playing best.

  

 12.9  AMT | Velocity Curve | Retrigger

 You can change the 

characteristic of the velocity curve for AMT articulations if played with 
the trigger keys here. Let’s take the ‘AMT Full’ articulation as an 
example: If you set the curve to ‘soft’ it will be easier to play muted 
notes and you’ll need to hit the keys harder for open notes. If you set 
the curve to ‘hard’ it will be easier to play open notes and you’ll need to 
play the keys softer to play muted notes. Play with these settings until 
you get an response which fits your playing best.

  

 12.10  AMT | CC Curve 

You can change the characteristic of the CC 

response if controlling the velocity of a AMT articulation via CC here. If 
you switch to ‘soft’ for example, it’s easier to control the lower range of 
the morphing, while ‘hard’ gives you more control over the higher range.

  

 12.11  VKS Switch Velocity

 ELECTRI6ITY has keyswitches which reacts 

to velocity. You can setup the velocity threshold of these velocity 
keyswitches here. The default threshold is 90, which means that the 
keyswitch switches if you play it with a velocity lower than 90 or equal 
or higher than 90.
