Re: new velocity setting program

2003-12-29 by tillsbury2000

Hi there,

May I suggest some settings for ignoring certain notes.  In any live 
midi recording, there will be the odd bum note recorded, which may 
have a velocity of under 20 or so.  This won't sound, but if you 
have a simple set of calculations to adjust velocities, it'll be 
affected by these notes.  You should be able to either ignore or 
delete notes under a specific velocity (say 20 or 25), or drag them 
up to the minimum during the calculations.

Some kind of calculation could do this automatically, if it were 
statistically based, but it might be more trouble than it's worth.  
If you're adjusting velocities in a MIDI file, then you're likely to 
know the minimum workable velocity for the target instrument.

Of course, what we'd *really* like is a MIDI player that has simple 
playlists, and does this conversion on the fly (while playing each 
file), without affecting the stored MIDI file.  Now *that* would be 
worth having.  I keep meaning to write one, but know too little 
about MIDI formats.

Regards


Charles
