I don't have a dedicated midi keyboard controller, and have been using a full size clavinova instead (like the weighted keys). However, even if i hammer down hard on the keys I only get a maximum velocity in Tracktion of around 60. If, in tracktion midi settings, I set all incoming signals to maximum velocity, then i get the 127, but obviously no variation. until now it hasn't been much of a problem, but now i'm using it to enter in multi velocity drum sequences and it's a nusance.
Is there any way i can adjust this within tracktion. There's nothing on the keyboard as it's not really designed for this in mind.
Cheers

a max of 60?
wow, that's one tough keyboard.
there are midi scaler plugins available (they act like compressors).
or use a T vol pan to boost the MIDI vel level by 2.

very. it's actually a really nice keyboard for playing on - v. responsive, just a bugger i now realise with inputing midi.
how do i do that exactly? Obviously I want to increase the velocity to get change in tone when using multi velocity samples, not simply increase the overall volume.valley wrote: or use a T vol pan to boost the MIDI vel level by 2

Put the volume filter BEFORE the vst and it will up the velocity of the midi data before it gets turned into audio. You gotta love the simplicity

doubling the level should be fine.
if the keyboard is producing a fairly linear velocity curve between 1 and 60 then doubling the velocity level will simply give you a corresponding velocity curve between 2 and 120.
IIRC a vol/pan sert to +3dB translates to a doubling of MIDI level - though it might be 6dB.
Place the vol/pan as the first filter on your track, check the "apply to MIDI velocities" option, and set the vol level accordingly.

Yamaha did not adhere to the MIDI standard early on. All their early keyboards send only 1-100. So you want to scale your input by 127%.

Thanks guys - yet again am smiling to myself at the simplicity of the solution.
