The obvious thing about note off velocity is that it enables you to control what happens during the release portion of an envelope (in the tone module you're playing) and it lets you affect what happens in an effects processor when a not ends. A musical example might be to have an invers relationship between the release velocity and the release time, so that if you release a note gently it rings out but if you release it abruptly it cuts off. You could also control filter cutoff so that an abrupt release results in a brighter sound on release, giving a more "definitive" end to the note. >Using Max for this had occurred to me, but I'd dismissed it as >overkill.

Max is handy for all sorts of things, though even installed patches such as Pluggo require greater resources than an equivalent compiled application. I sometimes use Max for such trivial but useful applications as a decimal-to-hex convertor. It's also a great prototyping environment for "real" programmers who may later create optimized versions of their Max patches. -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://RZCybernetics.com
