Note ON/OFF velocity

[Sherry C]

Howdy guys,

I'm attaching a file that has notes of the same pitch and volume, only different note velocities. Rather boring, but effective for testing. I've just tested it here in my installation of Notation Player using the GS Wavetable as the playback MIDI device, and I can hear the difference on my computer here.

VelocityContrast.mid

It goes from pretty much nothing (vel 5) to medium loud (vel 55), then to rather louder toward the end (vel 109 - it's not a crescendo exactly, as the notes have the same velocities for a couple of measures' grouping). Are you able to hear the differences in this file when playing it on Notation Player?

Also, if you could please post the test file that you created so I can compare that here, it might help us to figure out what's going on.

My machine here is a Win 7, and I'm using the GS Wavetable as the MIDI playback device (you can select from any devices that are available on your machine by using the drop list in Setup/Quick MIDI Devices Setup.)

We'll see if we can't get this figured out

Also, fwiw, WMP switched over to have it's own internal synth some time back, so it will not list MIDI playback options, nor will it allow itself to be a playback option for other software. Iirc, it does use the GS Wavetable, but under its own engine.

ttfn,
Sherry
