OK I see the problem. All acoustic emulations have a natural decay/fade to them; this also includes electric guitars, basses, violins, etc also. That is you play a note and it gets quieter with time. So when you shorten a note you are actually cutting off the decay. A way around this issue is with volume automation; that is using volume to create your own decay/fade. I would use expression, CC11, for this.

For the record velocity only effects the initial volume, timbre and/or other things. Fades are created with volume, either the volume changes of the patch/preset or your automation volume.

I hope this helps and good luck.

PS - If you need any help feel free to ask.

I get most of my exercise these days from shaking my head in disbelief.
