How do I get MIDI velocity out of Reaktor?

MIDI out does not accept the Velocity coming from my Bento Box 8 Steps sequencer, and so the notes all have velocity of 127. How do I get the velocity to come out of MIDI from reaktor? Thanks!

 

I've just tested & it's working as expected for me, outputting MIDI on one track in Ableton Live 10 & recording into another.

 

I'm not sure what you mean about working as expected. I can get MIDI from one track to another just fine, but the velocity is not sent. There is no velocity port on the MIDI out block. So what are you hooking the velocity out of the 8 step sequencer to in order for it to get in to another track?

 

The gates sent from the sequencer's Gate output carry velocity information in their strength/amplitude. The MIDI Out Block reads this and outputs MIDI notes with the corresponding velocity values. The Vel outputs additionally send velocity values as a stepped signal that updates with every new note. You can use it as modulation signal in your patch, but it is not needed to output MIDI including velocity.

 

You don't need to use the velocity out, velocity is transmitted as variations in the gate out value.

I think velocity out is intended more as a modulation source internally in Reaktor (?)

EDIT: Too slow!

 

Thank you both! It was totally user error. I forgot that I needed to activate each step and so I was only getting a gate out on reset so I tied the MIDI out gate to an external clock and not the sequencer itself. Cheers!

 

Midi velocity is part of MIDI 1.0 protocol. Don't confuse terms. Every midi note-on message has channel and velocity attributes. If you use the channel message module make sure you populate the inputs in reverse order bottom to top and then fire the note-on. You may have to use order modules..

 

Yes I'm aware of the protocol. As I said, the issue was that the MIDI Out module says "pitch" and "gate" which are strange terms to use when applying to MIDI. I understand now that in this case GATE is referring to VELOCITY.
