VelPro 1.2 update

The latest version of VelPro has been released a couple of weeks ago. It’s now even easier to edit your MIDI Velocity curve. We’re now at version 1.2 thanks to all your feedback and feature requests! Let’s walk through the new features of this release: “Apply curve to notes…” dialog Copy/paste a curve to any number of notes at once with this new dialog that lets you select all the notes on the keyboard that you want the current curve to be applied to. The option is shown in the “three lines” (aka “Hamburger”) menu, along with “Apply to all black/white keys” options. Display numeric scale on vertical axis if desired If the musical terms like “piano” or “forte” don’t really mean much to you, you can now switch to a numerical scale showing the actual velocity values with a switch shown in the View menu. Precise coordinates display and snap to grid when hovering and dragging a point No need to guess the values anymore. You can now see the precise x and y velocity values of a point when hovering the mouse. Also, the points now snap to a grid so that you don’t end up in between two velocities, not knowing which one will be applied. Compatibility with Apple Silicon If you own a recent Mac, chances are that it’s not an Intel processor anymore, but an ARM-based Apple Silicon chip. This release makes it possible to run VelPro on this new family of computers. Learn more There is now a Youtube video explaining new users how to use the basic features of VelPro. Also, of course, owners of previous 1.x versions get the update at no additional cost. Learn more about how VelPro can help you make your own MIDI velocity curve and buy it here!

VelPro 1.1 update

The latest version of VelPro has been released today. Please welcome version 1.1! This version includes fixes to the bug that prevented users to hear some changes they made to the velocity curve until they reloaded the device. But most importantly, it introduces a handful of new features: The most requested feature of all: Presets for your devices You can now create as many setups as you want for a given device, simply by clicking the “+” button on the top-right corner. Give the new preset any name you want, and start modifying the curves. If you were using version 1.0, your settings will automatically be migrated to a default “Init” preset in the new version. Speaking of Curve edition: Here is undo/redo There are no reasons to fear editing your curves anymore, since you can now easily get back to the previous state by pressing Ctrl+Z (Command+Z on Macs). Multi-client for Windows And finally, for the Windows users who felt like Mac users where privileged, you can now connect several applications to VelPro through additional Virtual MIDI ports. When a device is disabled, a new “Instances” section will appear on the top-right corner, allowing you to define how many ports should be created when the device is enabled again. All those ports will received the MIDI transformed by VelPro at the same time. A very big thanks to all the users that have kindly tested the 1.1.0 version and reported their findings so that everyone can have the smoothest experience with version 1.1.1. Of course, owners of the 1.0 version get the update at no additional cost. Learn more about VelPro and buy it here!
