Re: Vista-enabled software for turning down volume?

2009-02-13 by lowdebt4me

Thanks again, Spencer_rolls.

I downloaded the DKVutilities and was able to open Veloset in Vista, 
which apparantly works with ESEQ files.  I say apparantly because, 
while the program did run, and I was able to adjust the left (volume?) 
and right (velocity?) sliders, my modified .fil files still seemed 
pretty loud.

After a number of attempts at gradually reducing the volume of the .fil 
files I obtained from the classical zip file in the files section of 
this user group, I finally set the volume and velocity levels to their 
minimum values(ie, 1).  I'll have to do an A/B comparison of an 
original, unmodified .fil file to my minimum value version of the file 
to see if I can tell a difference.  I think there is a difference, it 
just isn't as great a difference as I had hoped for.

I wonder if another program, such as minimmod2 or gnmidi, would allow 
me to reduce their volumes even further, or are these minimum settings 
the same minimums that would be established using other programs 
(assuming I converted the .fil files to MIDI files).
