MIDI Solutions Velocity Converter
The MIDI Solutions Velocity
Converter
applies selected velocity curves to incoming MIDI notes.
Curves can be selected from
40 preset curves or a
user defined
curve. Even though the 40 presets offer a wide range of curves that are
enough to cover most needs, the user curve makes the Velocity Converter a
completely versatile device by allowing one curve to be created to an exact
specification.
The Velocity Converter can
apply a separate curve to each MIDI channel, allowing the
velocity response of a sending keyboard to be matched to individual sound
modules that are each set to receive on a different MIDI channel.
Another
feature of the Velocity Converter is the option to
assign
velocities based on a selected incoming Control Change value. In this
mode, the Velocity Converter monitors the value of a selected Control Change
message on a selected MIDI channel, and applies this value to all incoming
velocities on that MIDI channel. It is also possible to add an offset to
this value to keep the outgoing velocities above a specified level.
The Velocity Converter is programmed by
sending it MIDI
System Exclusive messages (see
FAQs
- Programming). This can be done easily with the
Processors Programming Tools
software. Once programmed, its settings are retained even after power is
removed. The Velocity Converter can be reprogrammed with new settings as
often as needed.
The Velocity Converter is
MIDI-powered, and
requires no batteries or power supply to operate with most products (see FAQs - Power
for more information). A MIDI indicator LED lights up when the
product is powered and flashes when MIDI data passes through it.
