			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>My VMK-188 Plus does not output the full range of key velocities 0..127. For higher velocities the range is filled sparsely:</p><p>hex&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;decimal<br />---&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;--------<br />7D&nbsp; &nbsp; 125<br />76&nbsp; &nbsp; 118<br />6E&nbsp; &nbsp; 111<br />64&nbsp; &nbsp; 100<br />5A&nbsp; &nbsp; 90<br />55&nbsp; &nbsp; 85<br />4F&nbsp; &nbsp; 80<br />4B&nbsp; &nbsp; 75<br />47&nbsp; &nbsp; 71<br />43&nbsp; &nbsp; 67<br />40&nbsp; &nbsp; 64<br />3D&nbsp; &nbsp; 62<br />3A&nbsp; &nbsp; 58<br />38&nbsp; &nbsp; 56<br />36&nbsp; &nbsp; 54<br />34&nbsp; &nbsp; 52<br />32&nbsp; &nbsp; 50<br />30&nbsp; &nbsp; 48<br />2E&nbsp; &nbsp; 46<br />2C&nbsp; &nbsp; 44<br />2B&nbsp; &nbsp; 43<br />2A&nbsp; &nbsp; 42<br />29&nbsp; &nbsp; 41<br />28&nbsp; &nbsp; 40<br /> : unit decrements down to<br />01&nbsp; &nbsp; 1</p><p>Effectively, above the half-way mark, the velocities are quantised so thinly we are dealing with two-thirds of a proper controller. It is a bit surprising that the keyboard manages to play as well as it does (one amateur&#039;s opinion, I have to admit).</p><p>This suggests that the keyboard response should be set so that most of the key output is in the &#039;filled&#039; lower part of the range of values for maximum discrimination at normal (mp to mf) playing volume. The sparse upper part can then be reserved for less frequent ff and fff. The region of the velocity curve where this should occur depends on the player (controlled ff and fff needs strong practised fingers than mine!) and on the type of music that is preferred. Less problematic is what should happen at the low end - I&nbsp; like to have null output at the lowest velocities, as you get no sound if you press a real piano key too softly.</p><p>Perhaps the following is a useful starting point:</p><p>Velocity = [6, 63, 76, 97, 119; 0, 96, 112, 123, 127]</p><p>Bowing the linear part of the curve outwards to make it convex will allow more discrimination at medium dynamics, but at the expense of control over pianissimi. Conversely, making the linear portion curve concave will allow graduated pianissimi at the expense of mezzo-dynamics.</p>]]></content>
