Changing velocities with the Velocity effect

Figure 414. MFX Velocity.

The Velocity effect lets you adjust velocities of MIDI notes. You can set velocity values, set scale values, add specific or random offsets, create smooth transitions, and limit the velocity range.

The velocity effect options are as follows:

Parameter/Option	Meaning
Set all velocities to X	Sets all velocities to the specified value.
Change velocities by X	Adds a specified increment to all velocities.
Scale velocities to X% of their current value	Multiplies all velocities by a constant factor.
Change gradually from X to Y	Creates a smooth velocity change across the selection.
Change gradually from X% to Y%	Scales velocities by a gradually changing factor.
Limit range from X to Y	Brings all velocities into the specified range.
Randomize by +/- X	Adds or subtracts a random offset from each velocity. You must also specify the maximum offset. You can select this option in addition to one of the previous options.
Tendency	The tendency of the random offset to be lower or higher, on a scale from -10 to 10.

To change note velocities

1.	Select the data to be affected.

2.	Right-click the selected clip(s) and choose Process Effect > MIDI Effects > Cakewalk FX > Velocity on the pop-up menu.

3.	Select options as described in the table above.

Click OK.

Cakewalk changes note velocities according to the specified options.
