The beginning of a song is important, there ought to be a way to adjust the velocity in the first bar.

Can that be done through Bar Settings? (F5)

Since you can easily do that via F5 as shown above, I'm wondering if there is something else you had in mind?

I wondered exactly the same thing. It will be interesting to find out if it was what we suggested or something different. The term 'velocity' puzzled me also. Is this Expression? Volume?

Velocity can mean volume, timbre, or both depending on what sound source you have. A single layer sound velocity means volume. Multiple layers velocity means timbre or volume and timbre. In timbre alone sound sources the volume is controlled by another CC, usually CC1, the mod wheel. Think Garrison and Aria products.

Also note that in all cases there will be a master volume control in either the software or the DAW that is independent of the softsynth's velocity volume.

I hope this helps and is not to confusing.

Thanks for chipping in Mario. I somehow keep leaning towards the concept that the O/P was referring to MIDI data and not Real Tracks. What you said makes sense for MIDI.

I guess we're all keen to see what the response is.

Exactly. I didn't want to get deeper into the ramifications of 'velocity' until we honed in on the meaning of the original question.

Velocity to a pianist can mean how hard or soft you strike a key.

The suggestion is too vague and open to too many interpretations. I hope JEasyWeaver will soon provide more detail.

I had a thought and wondered if the O/P was referring to an adjustable "Velocity Curve"?
