Velocity Curve (VelCurve)

VelCurve lets you taper the velocity response. The default setting is Linear, which means that the

output velocity changes directly proportionally to the played velocity.

Expand produces a curve that is less steep than the linear curve at keystrike velocities below 64,

and steeper than the linear curve at keystrike velocities above 64. In other words, when you’re

playing softly, you’ll notice velocity dierences less than with a linear curve, while when you’re

playing hard, you’ll notice velocity dierences more.

Compress produces a velocity curve that is the opposite of the expanded curve—that is, you’ll

notice velocity dierences more when you’re playing softly than when you’re playing hard.

as you hit the keys harder (increase the

velocity) MIDI velocity increases proportionally

MIDI velocity is greater at

medium strike velocity than with Linear curve

MIDI velocity is less at
