By setting one layer to be quiet at high velocities and another layer to be quiet at low velocities you can create an instrument that sounds different based on how hard the notes are played. (0) Ignore velocity, always play full volume. (1) Loudest at high velocity, quietist at low velocity (2) Loudest at low velocity, quietist at high velocity (3) Loudest at high velocity, quietist at middle velocity and below (4) Loudest at middle velocity, quietist at both high and low velocities (5) Loudest at bottom velocity, quietist at middle velocity and above, | L0Vel |
