Members mcpepe Posted February 9, 2007 Members Share Posted February 9, 2007 Hello.I have a Yamaha P90 stage piano and I want to use it as a MIDI controller with Reason 3.My problem is that maximum velocity when I press a key in the P90 is 100 (and not 127). Because of this problem i am not able to play the sounds of Reason3 at its full potential. These sound are programmed to respond to the velocity, with multisamples. If I dont reach the 127 I cannot hear the louder samples.Is there any solution to this? (apart from changing to another keyboard controller). Thanks.

Members Prog Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 Is there any solution to this? (apart from changing to another keyboard controller). Only if Reason can upscale the input velocities. I recall hearing of this problem in the yammy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members orangefunk Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 I wonder if its possible to route the MIDI signal to a MIDI processing program before it goes into Reason? Anyone? There is a hardware which does what you say.. but its very expensive for what it is http://www.midisolutions.com/prodvel.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DmitryKo Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 What is your TOUCH setting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mcpepe Posted February 10, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 I have not payed attention to the Touch setting. Is this important? I thought it has no relation to the MAXimum midi velocity.I had a look to the Midi Solutions box and it is what I need. In fact, in the examples talks about the same problem for the Yamaha DX7. The problem is my european shop doesnt have this unit. They sell another midisolutions hardware, but not this...:-(The direct order from the Midisolutions web is 149$...Like you say, it is not cheap. Dont you know of a Software alternative to the Midi Solutions Hardware? Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members orangefunk Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 The touch setting alters the dynamics. But what is more intriguing is that on Yamaha pianos, each sound also has its own dynamics... so if you choose harpsichord or organ you may find a different velocity response over MIDI.

Members DmitryKo Posted February 11, 2007 Members Share Posted February 11, 2007 mcpepe, set it to SOFT (and even then you have to punch really hard to get to 127). orangefunk, organ and harpsichord voices on the P-90 are not touch sensitive at all. MIDI messages emitted still reflect the actual velocity of your notes, no matter what voice is selected - it just wouldn't make any sense otherwise (and I've just did a quick check to make sure) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mcpepe Posted February 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 11, 2007 Thanks. I'll try with the Soft setting (not with my P90 till next saturday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing the patches actually seemed to change the MIDI output dynamics... it has been discussed here on this forum in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mcpepe Posted February 12, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 12, 2007 I did a search too, before a posted here, but I didnt find anything....Perhaps i didnt search well enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members orangefunk Posted February 12, 2007 Members Share Posted February 12, 2007 Yeah, I suppose it was a long time ago (inception of P120 era) and the forum has been thru a few transitions since. There was a period on HC where only the most recent posts were kept... I don't know if this is true now. It was another poster that found out this "feature", but IIRC all I had to do was change to different patches on my P80 and the velocity curve seemed to alter... I still couldn't get the top velocities out of the thing, just that the curve altered. It was very noticeable I have to say, so perhaps its not implemented on the P90. As I don't have a Yamaha piano anymore, I don't know the exact details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
