I recently started using several of the organ livesets onboard the Jupiter 50, leading me to this question:
Faster keystrike velocities always lead to louder sounds on things like piano, strings, flute, and violin. However, on the organ the volume appears to be a single level, no matter how gently the key is struck. I'll address my experience specifically with liveset 1696 called Full Pipe Ranks:
This stock liveset comes with velocity offset sensitivity set to 0 and no velocity curve set (setting is "OFF"), for all four tones. So the liveset sounds at the same volume, no matter the keystrike velocity. Not good, in my opinion. I changed the offsets for each of the tones to sensitivity setting +6, curve 4. Sound level now varies with keystrike velocity.
My question is: Is there an easier way to enable keystrike velocity's effect on sound level across all the tones in a liveset by using a single setting? I find it rather annoying to have to go in and change all four tones to a different velocity value, in order to enable a basic degree of modulation that I consider necessary for expressive playing. Perhaps old-style organs never had velocity-sensitive keys, so this is "normal" for the organ in this liveset?
A side question is: Why do acoustic pianos, for example Supernatural (acoustic) Piano, liveset 1514, modulate properly without any changes? The tone setting for this liveset also shows velocity sensitivity setting 0 and velocity curve tuned OFF...but different keystrike velocities yield different sound levels. So with no velocity offset dialed in, pianos have proper modulation, but I can't see where the setting is.
thanks for any help...
