New Zynthian User Guide -> mapping

Using Zynthian
1

Hi,
thanx for the new Zynthian User Guide. Iǘe seen, that there are many issues i don know. Zynthian keeps an adventure :wink:

One thing: I miss the declarations for admin/midi profile/mapping.
I have the problem, that a keyboard sends allways high velocity values. So I want to reduce the velocity eg by factor 0.8. Is it possible to map that?

Ok, i’ve found the midi filter rules in the zynthian wiki using the search button. If I want to change note events, i can change the channel and the note on/off value.
@jofemodo: Is it possible to implement a command to change the velocity of note on events?
Regards

Hi Micki!

Have you tried to use the new MIDI-chain feature?
If you want to adjust velocity, you could simply add to your layers some of the available MIDI tools, like:

  • MIDI Velocity Adjust
  • MIDI Velocity Gamma
  • MIDI Velocity Randomization
  • MIDI Velocity-Range Filter

You should enable the MIDI plugins you want from the webconf LV2-Plugins panel.

Regards,

@jofemodo: Hi Jose, today I tried the Miditools. With the 1st step I used only the velocity adjustment: wonderful!!! The next days I will try more. Lot of thanx from Düsseldorf !!! :bouquet:

My drum chain now includes a 1 or 2 % velocity variance via randomisation and it really makes a difference on a disco beat or anything straight like that.

What is gamma?

Sort of a distorted transfer function. It was originally used in TV cameras to partially match the characteristics of the eye, basically it’s the amount of curve in the graph…

I suppose @MrBroccoli means the “velocity gamma” LV2 plugin, from X42. The description from github page says:

Velocity Gamma – modify note velocity curve by a gamma exponent

And as Mr @wyleu points, it probably makes something similar to what is used for image gamma correction, using a “power law” like this:

Vout=Vin^Gamma

for modifying the velocity curve so it’s less sensitive to differences on the lower range.

Yes but what is the gamma half life? :joy::+1:

(Thanks, you answered my question)
