I have noticed that Battery is only sounding when triggered by notes with a velocity over 25. I did a test by programming 32 notes of the same pitch ie hihat and spreading the velocities 1,3,5,7 etc and the sample only sounded at 25 velocity value and above. Any ideas why? From: roman pirie <romanp@...> Date: Mon Mar 31, 2003 1:10pm Subject: LAM: Oops, I have got all Battery velocities triggering by switching the velocity response to linear In the options I switched to linear and Battery sounds on all velocity levels now. But I have noticed that in linear velocity response mode drums feel wrong. In linear mode most velocities sound the same eg loud. It is very difficult to get some expression as most velocities triggering Battery give an evenly loud sound. Thus curved velocity response mode is much better and has a natural expressive feel from my MIDI controller keyboard. I haven't tryed a percussion controller which may feel differently. But I would assume not. This is an annoying discovery because it means that Battery in it's only useful velocity response mode of 'curved' doesn't sound below velocities of 25. Another shitty problem to add to the many obstacles to a simple friggin drum beat aghhh!

Dunno - Perhaps it's to stop vibrational crosstalk creating false triggers when playing Battery off proper drum pads? Some units like Akai's MPD16 have lots of pads packed into a small area, so crosstriggering can be an issue. (obviously not an issue when playing drums off a keyboard!) [Erk] (BTW, for people currently thinking of buying NI Battery, some stores are probably still doing a nice package deal of Battery with an Akai MPD16 controller)
