range. If you keep playing harder, the sound will continue to get louder, but the increase will be
less than it would be normally. ÒCos+Ó sets the taper to resemble a cosine wave, in which the
ÒbulgeÓ goes the other way: the change in response is slower than normal as you approach the
velocity midpoint, and then increases faster than normal as you play harder.
Velocity Minimum, Velocity Maximum
Vel Min and Max set minimum and maximum velocity values that the Zone will respond to. A
keystroke whose velocity Ñ after it has been scaled and offset Ñ is below the minimum will not
make a sound in the Zone. Similarly, a keystroke whose velocity after processing is above the
maximum will not play the Zone. These parameters are important for Òvelocity switchingÓ Ñ
having a note play different sounds depending on how hard you strike it. The values can be
anywhere from 1 to 127. As with other parameters, Zones can overlap or be totally discrete, or
be identical. Intuitive Entry gives us a special way to set these parameters: hold the Enter key
and play a note, and the current parameter changes to the actual velocity of the note youÕve
played.
