velo()

velo()

Category

Envelope / Control

Description

Returns MIDI note velocity, normally scaled to 0.0 to 1.0. Use it to make a preset respond to playing strength.

Arguments

No arguments.

Typical Values

velo() itself is usually in the 0.0 to 1.0 range. Factory presets often multiply it directly with the full output level, or use it to open a filter, brighten a transient, or increase FM or noise amount.

Example

sin(X)*(0.3+0.7*velo())

Notes

Velocity response in Syntropy is opt-in. If a preset does not use velo() or velolog(), note velocity will not change its loudness or timbre. Use velolog() when you want a more natural loudness curve.
