The Song Jobs The "Offset" parameter allows you to change all velocity values by an absolute amount. "-" settings will decrease the velocity of each note by the corresponding amount, "+" settings will increase the velocity accordingly. The range is from "-99" through "0" to "+99". Original velocities Offset = -20 Offset = +20 96 64 32 76 44 12 116 84 52 127 96 107 76 127 116 New Velocity = Original Velocity x rate/100 + offset (If the right side of the equation is 0 or less, the New Velocity becomes 1. If the right side of the equation is 128 or more, the New Velocity becomes 127.) After setting the parameters as required press [ENTER] to execute the Modify Velocity job. The metronome icon will appear on the display while the data is being processed, then "Completed" will appear briefly when the job is done. Press the [EXIT] key to return to the job list, or a mode key to go directly to the selected mode. s NOTE • The Modify Velocity job is a great way to "soften" the sound of material that has too great variation between the softest and loudest notes, or, conversely, to add extra punch to dull-sounding material. Experiment with the parameters to get a feel for what they do. 108
