Re: [disklavier] Re: Vista-enabled software for turning down volume?

2009-02-13 by Spencer_Lists

Greetings lowdebt4me,

midimod2 will allow you to reduce the velocity of notes on to 1 which
is very soft. velocity 1 is the softest there is in MIDI. the DKV will
probably play all notes at a minimum level. i think this value is
adjustable but if you make it too low notes may fail to play.
