Job 02 Modify Velocity 7. Pattern Jobs • This job alters the velocity values of the specified range of notes (pitches) in the specified segment of the designated user phrase. Remember that velocity refers to the force with which a note is struck. The precise effect of a velocity change varies according to the voice: in most cases a higher velocity produces a louder sound. • Using this job, you can choose to set all targeted notes to an identical velocity value, or you can apply a relative (linear) adjustment to the original velocity values. • If making a relative adjustment, you use two parameters: the Rate and the Offset. The Rate value applies a proportional change to the velocity value, while the Offset value (which is applied after the Rate adjustment) adds a fixed value. The relation is as follows: Adjusted velocity = (original velocity X Rate) + Offset. • If the adjustment result is less than 1, the QY700 sets the value to 1. If the result is higher than 127, the QY700 sets the value to 127. • For full information about this job's parameters and operation, refer to the explanation for the SONG-mode version of the job, on page 145. But note that the PATTERN-mode job applies to a user phrase rather than a sequence track, and that maximum segment length for a phrase is 256 measures. 1.
