Hi everyone,
thanks again to all for previous answers (in expecial way to arakula!)...
Is there any plugin that gets velocity and use it to change the instruments volume? There is some vsti that does not support velocity (for example synth01!) or to change the way the plugin supports velocity (more/less sensitivity)
How to add velocity to instruments that has no such support

what host are you using?
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

the only way this could possibly work is if the synth is monophonic; a polyphonic synth would have the volume of all playing notes altered, which would sound very odd.
If a synth outputs incoming midi to the output, it would be a little easier, needing just some simple plugin placed afterwards to scale the volume of the audio output according to the velocity of incoming MIDI notes. very simple indeed.
If it does not, however, and not all synths can be assumed to, then it would require either
(a) routing incoming MIDI in parallel to both the synth and the post-synth volume effect [needing a modular host] or
(b) having two plugs that can communicate with each other, one before and one after the synth. The preceding plug would capture the velocity of incoming midi notes, and send an appropriate value to the volume scaling plugin 'behind the scenes'. the plugin after the synth would then change its gain control according to the value it recieves. this would require a bit of jiggery to get working, and would also require some kind of ID/channel system in case more than one setup was required in a project.

Kick, punch, it's all in the mind.
