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 youÕre
playing softly, youÕll notice velocity differences less than with a linear curve, while when youÕre
playing hard, youÕll notice velocity differences more.
Compress produces a velocity curve that is the opposite of the expanded curveÑthat is, youÕll
notice velocity differences more when youÕre playing softly than when youÕre playing hard.
Crossfade (Xfade) is designed to be used in tandem with the Reverse Crossfade curve, enabling
you to perform smooth crossfades between different programs.
Bump tapers velocity response to resemble a bell curve, so that notes are loudest when your
keystrike velocity is 64. Notes get softer as the keystrike velocity approaches 0 or 127.

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
