This operation increases or decreases the velocity values of
all notes in the specified track and range of measures.

●

Range: 01 — 16

This determines the track to be affected by the Modify
Velocity Job.

●

Measure Range is actually four separate settings (as shown
below).  These determine the range of the play data that is
to be affected.

●

Range: -99 — 0 — +99

This determines the amount of velocity change.  Negative
settings reduce the velocity while positive settings increase
the velocity.

NOTE: The Rate and Velocity Offset parameters change the
velocity according to the following formula:

New Velocity = Original Velocity x Rate/100 + Offset
(If the right side of the equation is less than 0, the new
Velocity becomes 1)

Press 

E to execute the Modify Velocity Job.  A

“Completed” message appears briefly when the Job is done.

HINT: The Modify Velocity Job is a great way to “soften” the
sound of material that has too great a variation between the
softest and loudest notes, or, conversely, to add extra punch to
dull-sounding material.  Experiment with the parameters to get
a feel for what they do and how you can use them.

●

Range: 0 — 200%

This determines the ratio between the lower and higher
velocity values.  A setting of 100% maintains the original
relationship between the notes, lower values produce a
narrower dynamic range, and higher values produce a
broader dynamic range.
