Velocity Offset (Vel Offset)
Adds a constant value to your keystrike velocity. The value for all zones in the default setup is 0.
A positive value for this parameter causes an upward shift in the entire velocity curve. For
example, if you set a value of 64, every note in that zone has a final attack-velocity value of 64
greater than your keystrike velocity (to a maximum of 127, of course). So if you play a note with
a keystrike velocity of 32, the final attack-velocity value is 96. Negative values for Vel Offset shift
the velocity curve downward.

Vel Scale and Vel Offset have a very close relationship; when you change the value of one of
them, you'll often want to change the value of the other as well. For example, suppose you set
Vel Scale to 250% in a zone, to make it stand out from the other zones when you're playing hard.
You may find that the velocity curve pins at the high end rather quickly—in other words, by the
time you're playing ƒ, the final attack-velocity value may already be 127, and playing ƒƒ or ƒƒƒ
doesn't give you any more dynamics. Setting a negative offset shifts the velocity curve
downward, preventing the final attack-velocity value from maxing out before you get to ƒƒƒ.

Velocity Scale: 100%
as you strike the keys harder (increase the
velocity) MIDI velocity increases proportionally

MIDI velocity reaches maximum on
medium strike velocity
Velocity Scale: 50%
MIDI velocity never reaches maximum, even on
maximum strike velocity
Velocity Offset: +64
low velocity keystrikes produce
medium MIDI velocity and greater
Velocity Offset: -64
low velocity keystrikes result in MIDI velocity of 1;
maximum MIDI velocity reduced
