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.
