Dear
All:
Let me
start by saying I am no expert but I sure spend a lot of time changing both
velocity and volume on midi files that I collect form the web. (Using
Cakewalk)
I find
that it is the combination of velocity and volume that may drive the hammers to
excess. In an effort to create midi's which have sufficient velocity at
low volume I have often pushed the velocity to the max with no apparent negative
effect. Also certain midi's that have been composed without a piano part
that I later change to include piano need the velocity and volume bumped up to
balance the rest of the channels.
Would
love to learn more, and as always I am searching for the best and brightest
files for the collection.
Cheers
Dan

Subject: [disklavier] velocities on Pianodisc software
Just took delivery of a gleaming new DU1A-PE with all the mark
three disklavier gear on and it is gorgeous . On reading through the
archives I noticed a question relating to velocities on midi files,
suggested velocities were around the 65 mark as damage to the piano
action could result . Shock horror I immediately check all my files
and discover (using the natty veloset program on the DKV utilities
disc ) that all my pianosoft discs have velocities up to 118 is
this ok or is it just the midi files that have the velocity at
maximum through out the file that are the problem ? I tried some
rachmaninoff at the suggested lower velocity and thought it lost a
lot from the performance . Great group, will keep you posted with my
progress. Cheers Tom
