The range is 0-127, with a default value of 60 (middle C).

Velocity scale

This value is used to scale the currently selected velocity curve in order to specify a much larger number of filter velocity responses. For example, if you want the filter to scale from a low cutoff to fully open within the lowest velocity range, the filter response can be scaled to open more quickly by entering values above 20 (up to 127). Values below 20 will cause the filter to open more slowly over velocity yielding a darker response. The range is 0-127 with a default value of 20. This parameter is only available when the Cutoff Controller is set to “None”.

Filter velocity response curve

Defines how the filter responds to note-on velocity.

•0 - Non linear

•1 - Linear

•2 - Special

These settings work in conjunction with the Velocity dynamic range parameter (see the next item).

Filter velocity response dynamic range

With this setting, you can lower or raise the dynamic range of the velocity response of the filter. There are five response positions:

•1 - High

•2 - Medium high

•3 - Medium

•4 - Medium low

•5 - Low

This setting works in conjunction with the Velocity curve parameter (above) as shown in the following diagrams:
