My trouble is that I'mprogramming my MIDI with the Ultimate Analog soft synth. That synth is totally the cat's pajamas! Anyway, I need to use a Scale VOLUME function if at all posible. The patch I'm using (perhaps the whole synth) doesn't respond to velocity. Is there a CAL or some way I can map the velocity ramps I've programmed into volume ramps? -- Long live analog, Ben

Hmmmm.... it seems the VA-1 does interpret velocity data - just not very expressivo as I would have expected. None the less, it does somethin. Still - I'd like to know about the volume mapping. -- Cheers, Ben

Re: Wanted: Scale Volume instead of Scale Velocity I don't know about volume mapping but if your keyboard can't interpret velocity then it's really NOT the cats pajamas. But I'm guessing your using different sounds to what you first heard so they're not going to sound the same.

Do you use SONAR? Do you use the VA-1? The synthesizer I was talking about is a soft synth. My main keyboard is a Roland A-90ex - that's worth the cat's whole wardrobe, cha cha. Go fish. -- Cheers, Ben

I often employ those on both the MIDI and Audio Tracks. If you want to REmap previously programmed controllers you might try the Cakewalk MIDI Event Filter. Dunno if that will work exactly for that but I suppose it's worth a look. -- _____________________ Steve Wilson --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: ---

Re: Wanted: Scale Volume instead of Scale Velocity Sorry meant your synth not your keyboard. Yes I use Sonar and no, I've never heard of VA-1. I got confused since you started by saying the VA-1 didn't interpret velocity data and then it did.

In addition to what Steve suggested (I also don't recall if the MIDI event filter will do that), I seem to remember using a MIDI plug-in (from something like 10crazy or tencrazy?) that could map one controller type to another. However, I don't recall if it could map velocity to volume. I know I did use it to map aftertouch to another continuous controller and/or vice-versa. It's been awhile since I've used that, and, just thinking about it now, I'm not even sure I have the MFX loaded on my system since 32-bit MFXes wouldn't be supported on SONAR x64, and I'm not sure if I ever got the MFX wrapper (from that person who did the DirectX/DXi wrapper I've used successfully) to work -- I recall for certain that I couldn't get it to work with JMT Orchestrator -- it seemed to map it, but I couldn't make it do what it's supposed to do.

That VA-1 is awesome. That is, of course, if you like analogue/subtractive synthesis. It costed like ten bucks. I think Russ gave us the heads up on that deal . . . and what a deal. -- Cheers, Ben
