Velocity sensitivity

Hi. How would I go on about to add velocity sensitivity to volume? I know I can connect velocity from the midi to poly module to a VCA and control the velocity amount with a knob or slider but when turned all the way down the volume gets muted. Ive tried many things but nothing seems to work the way i want it to.

Cheers.

One possibilitsy would be

volume = 1 + sensitivity*(2*velocity - 1)

Consider applying sensitivity to the filter: a hard struck piano note does not only sound louder, but also - well - harder.

Thanks Martin. I will try that.

FWIW - here's how I've been doing it. With velo control at min, velo has no effect on vol. At max, a light touch results at almost no vol; hard touch max vol. Uses a code module I got from the ancient SM project, UniRetro.

Yeah, I wish I knew who wrote that code module; I don't know if it was the guy who built UniRetro, or if he got it from somewhere else. UniRetro was the work of Christoph Bielen.
