Learn how to tame your MIDI performances with Velocity Processor in Logic Pro
Not all velocity values are played equal – some may be more drastic than others. Here’s a tool that can reduce the velocity range, should it be desired
Velocity is a great MIDI feature that can add expression to a performance. But if a performed part has a few velocity errors, you might have to open the MIDI region and manually edit the notes. Wouldn’t it be great if you had a MIDI compressor that could automatically reduce large ranges in velocity? Enter Logic Pro’s Velocity Processor.
In this Logic Tips video, Jono Buchanan breaks down Velocity Processor and shows you how it can be used to edit MIDI performances with ease. You’ll learn when to use it, and how to use it in both subtle and extreme variations for more natural-sounding music.
