[Done 2.7 B2] Feature Request: Set (Computer) Keyboard Velocity

[Pysj]

Hard to say what is best. In the good old days it was a per instrument setting. Where typing no velocity value to a note would trigger the instrument with this set default velocity value. That meant that you quickly could change the velocity for all notes without any velocity value set in the pattern editor.

We could anyway perhaps do this with a separate device to automate velocity scaling for an instrument if we go for the global velocity setting?

And +1 for the kazakore suggestions. Always wanted those things. Default delay insertion , and to have a adjustable trigger offset marker for samples as well (the latter should hopefully be considered as the new instrument structure evolves).

I’m with esaruoho and It-Alien. These settings should be per-instrument, so somewhere in the instrument settings tab would make sense. Perhaps a collapsible thing like the MIDI input setup box?

Why not change the top left part of Renoise where it has Keyb. Octave [XX] to something like Oct [xx] Vel [00] ? Also in top of the pattern editor.

Thirdly having an option in the preferences menu for something like “virtual midi keyboard default velocity X” or something to that effect.

Not me. It would be too confusing.

It should not be embedded too deeply, or I feel we will confuse new users.

Spontaniously I agreed about that.
I also think in most usecases it would be fine not to adjust for different instruments it just let it be at something like 80-100.

But should it not be a slider? Much quicker to drag the value up/down and it would lower the inflation of similar buttons.

Or the option to set it per instrument or globaly?
Would probably be overkill though.

This is a great idea. Makes even more sense with the new sample mapping.

In Impulse Tracker/Schism Tracker the keyboard volume is stored within the cursor. When typing a note, the stored volume is both written down in the volume column and used to play back the note at that volume.
I still think it’s a good system. You can choose which columns to store, use the Enter key to store a row and paste rows rapidly with Space.

Just a thought…

How about a range, possibly 5 customizable ranges based on this ear sensitivity chart. So for example, you could set some lower notes to have a higher velocity than high mid-range notes.

FM8 has something similar, although its more of applying a curve over the entire keyboard.

Now for a slightly off-topic thought…

Option to disable the velocity as a function but still have the ability to use velocity as a trigger instead, then in theory, you can store a megaload of samples in one view… of course the samples would have to be mixed volume wise, I guess this is more of a live suggestion…

Hah, maybe an idea for - look out there comes the T-word - a Tool.

Sounds quite nice for advanced users but yet another thing that needs much explaining to all users who will learn Renoise.

I think this would be ok.

All instrument by defualt use the pattern bar value. Advanced: you set the instruments own value in the instrument settings. This then over-rides the pattern bar value.

The IT method sounds interesting, but having not used IT, I would need to try it berfore judgement.

[ripley]

what do you people mean by velocity? do you mean the volume or pitch? i kind of don’t get this thread.

The harder you strike the louder and vise versa.

This is not the case with computer keyboards as it is fixed to be loud all the time, you’d have to program the velocity or volume per note.

Works great in b2
