The CHANGE VELO function allows you to modify the
dynamics (called “velocity”) of a track or excerpt.
Increasing the velocity values means that the notes
in question will be louder and brighter than before,
while reducing the velocity values means the oppo-
site. Use this function when you are happy with the
timing of the notes but would like the sound to be
brighter/louder or rounder/softer. You can either
decide to add/subtract a fixed velocity value
(“VALUE”) or to change them proportionally (“MAG-
NIFY”).
■TRACK (ALL 1~16)
Allows you to select the track you wish to edit. You can
also select “ALL” here, in which case the operation applies
to all tracks.
■FROM
● BAR (1~[last measure of the track or song])—Refers to
the first measure to be edited. By default, the FROM
value is set to the beginning of the selected track(s).
● BEAT (1~[number of beats per bar])—Specifies the
beat position. The number of selectable beats depends
on the time signature in the selected area.
● CPT (1~119)—Refers to the starting CPT position. “CPT”
is short for “Clock Pulse Time”, the smallest unit used by
the G-70. (There are 120 CPTs to every beat of a 4/4 bar.)
Change this setting only if your edit operation should
start after the selected beat.
■TO
By default, the TO position is set to the last event of the
selected track (or the last event of the longest track when
you select “ALL”).
● BAR (1~[last measure of the track or song])—This is
where you specify the bar position of the last measure to
be edited.
● BEAT (1~[number of beats per bar])—Specifies the
beat position. The number of selectable beats depends
on the time signature in the selected area.
● CPT (1~119)—Refers to the last clock that should be
affected by the edit operation. Change this setting only
if your edit operation should not end exactly on the
selected beat.
■BIAS (–99~99)
The BIAS parameter allows you to specify by how much the
velocity values should change. Select a positive value to
increase the velocity (the value is added to the velocity
value of the affected notes), or a negative value to
decrease the velocity values (that value is subtracted).
Select “0” if you prefer to work with the MAGNIFY parame-
ter (see below).
This parameter can be particularly useful for velocity
switched sounds: slightly reducing or increasing the overall
velocity, allows you to “shift” all notes to the “other” sound.
Note: Even the highest positive or negative VALUE doesn’t
allow you to go beyond “1” or “127”. There is a reason why “0”
is impossible: that value is used to indicate the end of a note
(note-off). “127”, on the other hand, is the highest velocity
value the MIDI standard can muster. Selecting a high positive
velocity value may thus lead to all notes being played at “127”.
■MAGNIFY (0~200%)
This parameter works like a “compander” effect (a dynamics
processor that simultaneously acts as compressor and
expander), although it processes MIDI data: by selecting a
value above “100%” you increase the differences between
high and low velocity values in the selected range. Values
below “64” are lowered, while values above “64” are
increased. The result is therefore that the difference
between pianissimo and fortissimo becomes far more pro-
nounced.
MAGNIFY values below “100%” have the opposite effect:
they push all velocity towards the imaginary center of “64”,
thus reducing differences in playing dynamics.
■FROM NOTE (0 C~127 G9)
This parameter allows you to set the note (or lower limit of
the note range) to be modified within the specified FROM/
TO time range.
■TO NOTE (0 C~127 G9)
This parameter allows you to set the upper limit of the note
range to be modified within the specified FROM/TO time
range.
It is not displayed when you select EQUAL, UNEQUAL,
HIGHER or LOWER. See also “Fine-tuning the setting range”
on p. 163 for details about the six button icons.
