I am working with a MarkIIIXG upright. We
downloaded some Ampico expression rolls. Even with the volume control at
max, some notes will not strike on play back. I looked at the file with
Cakewalk and noticed that the missing notes had velocities around 30. I
assume that when the XG volume is on maximum, the piano will try to play the
velocities in the file with no lowering.
My question is: What is the lowest velocity number
this piano must have to reliably play such fast moving music? Spencer
Chase's editor will let you raise velocities in certain ranges without bothering
other velocities. The piano has just run the self test and calibration
program and passed. I just want to know how much to raise those soft
notes.
Many thanks for all comments.
