In which case you may reserve&nbsp; pppp with any value between 2 and 8 ( velocity 1&nbsp; triggers a&nbsp; silent note in pianoteq)&nbsp; and 127 for ffff which in Italian notation corresponds to the absolute maximum your keyboard can produce .</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I would say you can&#039;t got far wrong just dividing the 0-127 possible velocities into 8 ranges for the 8 markings and using the center of each as your nominal velocity:</p><p>ppp =&nbsp; &nbsp; 8<br />pp&nbsp; &nbsp;=&nbsp; 24<br />p&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;=&nbsp; 40<br />mp&nbsp; =&nbsp; 56<br />mf&nbsp; &nbsp;=&nbsp; 72<br />f&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; =&nbsp; 88<br />ff&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;= 104<br />fff&nbsp; &nbsp; = 120</p><p>If you find this isn&#039;t rendering the way you&#039;d like for a given piece, you can adjust Pianoteq&#039;s velocity curve to effectively shift all the velocities up/down, expand/reduce the range or change the slope in different ranges without having to re-visit the individual note velocities, understanding that the variation of dynamics within each marking&#039;s range is where all the magic happens (so far as velocity goes) in an actual performance.</p>]]></content>
