Hello!
I need a similar thing that was described in the Key Folower question. But so it could be set to work in both directions.
To have a control over the velocity per note.
For example make higher notes sound quiter and lower louder and vise versa.
I used a backward formula described there: vel / (notenum + 0.5), it does some work but doesn't feel like a control.
Attached image example how it made in Sytrus synth. The X axis is a notes and Y axis is a velocity range to the note layed on X axis.
Is it possible to make this?
Thanks

And also more problems.
I changed the formula to vel / notenum * p1
Kinda same stuff actually.
First - it seems like it is non linear volume result.
Second - different synths reacts different on that. So this is not ultimate but have to be tweaked somehow for different synths.
Attaching screens. It's sine playing notes like from C0,C1,C2 - C10 and B10 the last one.

If your looking for an equation with a bit more control how about this one
This will multiply the velocity by some coefficient in a specified range. So for example if you set min to 0.5 and max to 1.2 then a C0 will be 50% of it's original velocity and B10 will be 120% of it's original velocity. I'll attach a program that demonstrates it. The graph is a bit misleading so just disregard it. You've got three variables (velocity input, note input, velocity output) so you would need a 3 dimensional graph to really visualize it.
vel * ((max - min) * (1 - notenum) + min)

Hi. This does seem to work.
But is there a simple way with a possibilty to add several points? So it would just multiply the incoming velocity by Y? So it would be like Vel * Y at the X(chosen by note).
Example on the image the Y at the point = 0.455, so it would make the incoming velocity a 45.5%

Hey sorry I forgot to reply to this but I can't think of a way to do it with control points.

Hey,
At least I have linear now. I use it with free synths to balance the notes volume between low and high notes.
Thank you
