02: Modify Velocity

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, con- versely, to add extra punch to dull- sounding material. Experiment with the parameters to get a feel for what they do.

Increases or decreases the velocity values of all notes in the specified user phrase.

The “Phrase” parameter selects the user phrase to be affected by the Modify Velocity job: “001” ... “100”.

The “rate” parameter sets the ratio between the lower and higher velocity values. A setting of “100%” maintains the original relationship between the notes, lower values produce a narrower dynamic range, and higher values produce a broader dynamic range. The range is from “0%” to “200%”.

The “offset” parameters determines the amount of velocity change. “-” settings reduce the velocity while “+” settings increase the velocity. The range is from “-99” through “0” to “+99”.

New Velocity = Original Velocity x rate/100 + offset

(If the right side of the equation is less than 0, the New Velocity becomes 1.)

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 [F6] key (“Exit”) to return to the job list, or a mode key to go directly to the selected mode.

03: Modify Gate Time

Increases or decreases the gate times (length) of all notes in the specified user phrase.
