MIDI velocity editing
- [Instructor] Let's continue now and look at MIDI velocity editing. You'll no doubt remember be saying in the previous movie that the term velocity is more accurate than the term volume, even though they're all linked. MIDI velocity ranges from zero to 127. If a note has a velocity of zero, it plays back as silent. If it has a velocity of 127, it is the loudest the VSTI will play the patch being used. The reason velocity is more appropriate to use than volume when using MIDI data, is because the resulting volume from the VSTI is determined by a different factor, the channel fader that turns the resulting volume up or down. To put that another way, a MIDI velocity set to full at 127 can be made to play loudly in a mix by pushing the relevant channel fader up high. Yet that same full MIDI velocity of 127 could be buried in a mix that's a low level, simply by dragging the channel fader down, for example. So, with that in mind…
