The next Þve velocity curves are Reverse Linear (revrsLin), Reverse Expand (revrsExp), Reverse
Compress (revrsCmp), Reverse Crossfade (revrsXfd), and Reverse Bump (revrsBmp). These
taper velocity in reverse of the Þve curves we just covered. For example, Reverse LinearÕs
response is such that striking a key harder will produce a lower volume, striking it softer will
produce a higher volume, and so on. This provides a convenient way to achieve negative
scaling, by letting you set one parameter instead of two.

as you hit the keys harder (increase the
velocity) MIDI velocity increases proportionally
MIDI velocity is greatest at
medium strike velocity
Below medium strike velocity, MIDI velocity is less
than with Linear curve; above medium strike velocity,
MIDI velocity is greater than with Linear curve
