Halion76 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Hi, say I was using a half damper pedal with Pianoteq 5 and using the PX5S as a controller - will this work OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Yes - but you will need to run a pedal that supports half-pedaling into your computer using an adapter from http://www.midiexpression.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halion76 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 OK thanks Scott. Can I just ask you one other quick question in here rather than starting another thread......... myself and another PX5S user have been discussing the difficulty in triggering some articulations in MOXF patches when using the PX5S as a controller. I know the likes of MIDIOX can sort this when using a DAW but when just using the PX5S and the MOXF it is virtually impossible to trigger these articulations that need high velocity. I tried changing some settings on the PX5S before but still no joy and I feel like I am committing ABH on the PX5S - just not natural at all. It's a main gripe for both of us. Obviously it's not feasible to go in to adjust velocity on every patch on the MOXF but can you tell me everything that is possible to do on the PX5S to allow users to hit a 127 velocity without taking a sledgehammer to the keys!! Thanks again for all your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Ok - the first thing you may want to try (and this is a longshot) - turn high-res MIDI off on the PX-5S if it isn't already. It's just a hunch...The other thing to know is the PX-5S will send the same velocity values regardless of the settings in inside the patches - it's just how a MIDI controller works.One other thing is to remember velocity is speed, not force. So hitting the key quicker, not harder is the way to get the max velocity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halion76 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Thanks Scott. I'll try that again when I get the keyboard again. As for the velocity - fast, hard, sitting on it...........pretty impossible to get that 127 velocity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I never have an issue with getting to 127 and I am a weakling. Set system velocity sense to "light" and it's super easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll def have to get this sorted in that case. I'm not a "weakling" but I struggled to trigger velocity articulations in VSTs. Will report back from A&E when I give it another go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
