VOLUME MODULATION SECTION
Controller
By assigning the same attenuation controller to groups of related notes or samples, a MIDI controlled sub mix capability can be designed into the instrument so that individual sounds can have discrete MIDI volume control.
Attenuation Controller Invert: This option reverses the MIDI controller. This is necessary when creating a simple MIDI
controller
Attenuation Controller Threshold: This parameter allows you to assign a minimum threshold to the external volume attenuation controller. This is useful for volume crescendo/decrescendo and expressive dynamics. It is very similar to the threshold knob found on controller/volume pedals. For example, this allows a MIDI controller to set the volume from “full volume to soft” instead of “full volume to silent”.
VELOCITY RESPONSE SECTION
The velocity response section specifies how an instrument region’s volume responds to incoming MIDI velocity values. Once you have chosen a basic velocity curve, you can further modify that curve using the velocity range and scale parameters.
Keep in mind that if you are also filtering, the overall volume velocity response is affected by the response of the filter.
