New Velocity = Original Velocity x rate/100 + offset
(If the right side of the equation is 0 or less, the New Velocity
becomes 1. If the right side of the equation is 128 or more, the New
Velocity becomes 127.)
After setting the parameters as required press [ENTER] to execute
the Modify Velocity job. The metronome icon will appear on the display
while the data is being processed, then “Completed” will appear briefly
when the job is done. Press the [EXIT] key to return to the job list, or a
mode key to go directly to the selected mode.

NOTE
• The Modify Velocity job is a great way to “soften” the sound of material that has
too great a variation between the softest and loudest notes, or, conversely, to add
extra punch to dull-sounding material. Experiment with the parameters to get a feel
for what they do.
The “Offset” parameter allows you to change all velocity values by
an absolute amount. “-” settings will decrease the velocity of each note by
the corresponding amount, “+” settings will increase the velocity accord-
ingly. The range is from “-99” through “0” to “+99”.
