Newb here (Downloaded this evening), so forgive me if this is a dumb question (& also why I'm posting here). I've searched around and don't see a definitive answer.
Is it possible to set a gradual velocity from Minimum to maximum?

The reason for this very short answer is: Without further information,
nobody here knows what you actually mean.
What do you understand by "gradual velocity"?
What do you want to achieve?

You can probably automate it somehow but it depends which software you're using.

Me thinks this post should have been made in the Waveform forum (formerly Tracktion).

EDIT: per your second post, i understand you want to increase velocity for one only note over time.
As far as i'm understanding midi, velocity is a single discrete information for a note ; evolving velocity for a note by this definition as no sense (although i know nothing about MPE subject). Velocity is the one only value strength at which you hit the note.
If what you want if make a volume increase over a note only, this is not called velocity, this is called volume.
You can use a modulator for this. Modulator would have his proper arranger line, not linked to notes, but linked to time. The target parameter of the modulator would be track volume.
Otherwise, in [some/most/all] arrangers you can display and edit the volume automation line of the track.
Old response for drawing velocity lines on a track:
I think your subject is called velocity automation.
Is it possible to draw a bottom up line in a velocity automation section ? Most of the daws allow this which is called "curve automation".
Though because velocity is a discrete information (= only one value per note), drawing a velocity automation line is often transformed by the daw in one point per note, though theoriclally the daw could let the line as is - aka keeping the smooth line and under the hood mapping to discrete velocities while playing.

Did you see you didn't mention your audio software ?
