OffsetandScaleworktogether.Ifscalingtakesthevelocityoutoftheballpark—forexample,
youwanttosetitto300%butthatputsallofyournotesatmaximumvelocity—usinga
negativeoffset,sayaround‐60,canmakeitpossible tostillplayat
differentvolumes,although
yourcurvewillstillbealotsteeperthannormal.Ifyouuseanegativescaling,thenyoumust
useanoffset:otherwiseallofyourvelocitieswillendupaszeroes(well,onesactually,sincea
MIDInote‐onwithvelocityzeroissomethingelse).So
togettrueinversescaling(thatis,minus
100%),youmustsetanoffsetof127togetthefullrangeofvelocities.Settingtheoffsetto127
andthescaleto‐100%producesaslopelikethis(whichisthesameasthereverselinearcurve):
NotethatOffsetand
ScaleaffectonlyMIDIvelocities;thatis,theseparametersdon’tchange
VelocityTrackingintheprogramsthemselves.Therefore,someprograms(suchasorgan
sounds,whichoftenhavelowVelTrkvalues)mayrespondonlysubtlytoOffsetandScale,or
notatall.
