I am using the "Yamaha Piano Hall" software music instrument as output from a MIDI track in Logic Express.
The problem is that at least one of the notes sounds completely different at velocity 64 than the same note does at velocity 65.
When I change a "D3" note in the Piano Roll from velocity 64 to 65, two things happen:
(1) The note gets much louder, and
(2) The timbre completely changes.
At velocity 64, D3 has a kind of mellow timbre. At velocity 65, there is a much sharper, more strident timbre. (And it's much louder too).
By contrast, velocities 64 and 63 sound virtually alike.
Is this an inherent limitation of the software instrument, or do I have some wrong setting? Is there some workaround (other than mapping all the MIDI to velocities from 1 to 64?)
