Hi Ryan, I encountered this same problem time ago on Windows using CakeWalk Proaudio. But in this case, CakeWalk Proaudio provides a function to add a offset to all MIDI notes on a given track. This isn't the best solution since you loose dynamic range. Scaling would be better. Having a solution like this in the library level, common for all applications sounds reasonable to me. Many keyboards don't use the full 7 bit scale, so that could be considered as a "Hardware configuration parameter".
I suggest: write a patch, and show it to Takashi and Jaroslav. They are the boss around here :D Best Regards Manuel On Wed, 2003-10-08 at 00:21, Ryan Underwood wrote: > Hi, > > A problem that I have on some MIDI keyboards is that the velocity > information sent by the keyboard is just too low.
