Topic: MIDI files played louder than keyboard

Hi guys,

I observed that playing MIDI files with PT5.0.0 is substantially louder than using the keyboard. Although I hit the keyboard as hard as can to achieve V=127. Any ideas, why the MIDI is louder?

I have to add that this refers only to downloaded MIDI files, not the ones I record myself.

thanks

thomas

Re: MIDI files played louder than keyboard

some kind of reduced dynamics in the MIDI files? This would simulate the well-known "compression" effect, and a subjectively louder sound.
Try to apply this on your own MIDI recording in your DAW...
