There is a way to make the note velocity control the cut off or volume in a vst, how do i this this in Zebra2 and live 7.10 ?


Thanx !

It depends on what you're trying to do.

Take the Zebra 2.3.1 "initialize" preset. In that preset Envelope1 is the amplitude envelope, as seen in the center matrix:

In the top right you see the Velocity knob on Envelope1. Leaving the knob at center means velocity does not affect the envelope. Values left of center invert the velocity (harder notes sound softer), and values to the right of center directly apply the velocity (harder notes sound louder).

You know the Env1 is in this patch is the amplitude envelope because you can see it in the modulation matrix in the lower-left corner. There are two grey boxes labeled:
[ none ]
[ Env1 ]

Velocity is also a modulation source which means it can be used wherever you have a modulation knob labeled "..."

Let's take a more traditional synth usage of using velocity to control filter cutoff. Start again with the "initialize" preset and add VCF1 after OSC1 in the module matrix. Set your cutoff to about 75. Now right-click the first knob labeled "..." to the right of the Resonance knob. Choose the name "Velocity" from the menu. The Velocity modulation knob now acts similarly to the previous setup (left of center inverts, right of center applies).

This is just scratching the surface of how to use note velocity within a preset. Because Z2 has so many modulation generators and targets very complex routings can be created using the velocity as a source. Hope this answers your question and gets you started. :)

sorry for the very late answer but, thanx !


ill try this and the pitch bend range when i get home !


thanx !!!!! :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :) :) :D :D :D :D :lol:
