INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the MIDI Solutions Velocity Converter. The MIDI Solutions Velocity Converter allows various velocity curves to be applied to Note-On velocities. Curves can be selected from 40 preset curves or one user-definable curve, and each MIDI channel can be assigned a unique curve. The MIDI Solutions Velocity Converter is MIDI-powered and requires no batteries or power supply to operate.
PROGRAMMING COMMANDS CLEAR SETTINGS To clear all of the Velocity Converter's settings, send it the following System Exclusive programming command: F0 00 00 50 09 00 F7 It is recommended to send the Clear Settings command to the Velocity Converter prior to programming the unit to ensure that all previous settings are cleared.
CONTROL CHANGE VELOCITY CONTROL To set the velocity to follow a MIDI Control Change value, send the Velocity Converter the following System Exclusive Programming command: F0 00 00 50 09 03 aa bb cc F7 All bytes must be in Hexadecimal format (see hexadecimal conversion table at end) aa = Control Change# bb = Offset added to incoming Control Change value cc = MIDI channel (see MIDI channel table at end) The Velocity Converter will accept one of these commands.
