Per Note Velocity Pitch Bend

I sometimes use velocity based pitch bend for percussion instruments, but the problem is that if you have a really hard hit followed by a softer hit, the pitch of the first hit will bend down to the pitch of the softer hit. Is there a way to implement this so that each hit's pitch bend is independent? I.e., if a high velocity hit gets pitched up a bit, a softer hit that follows it won't audible bend it? I hope what I'm asking is clear.

 

I can't reproduce this. How exactly have you got it set up?

 

I've got the pitch bend modulator set to velocity instead of the pitch bend wheel, and I'm using samples with pretty long decays. So when one hit is at 127, it gets pitched up, and then if another softer hit occurs before the first hit decays completely, they both get shifted down to the pitch of the softer hit. What I want it to do is let the first hit stay at the pitch it was triggered at, so the other hits don't affect it.

 

Much like Stephen, I cannot duplicate this behaviour. Here's what I'm doing: take a looped sample, set the amp envelope so that attack is 1 ms, decay and release are 1.5 seconds, no sustain. I remove the pitch bend modulator from the Source section and right-click the Tune knob to add velocity modulator to it. I leave the modulation depth on default 2 semitones to hear the changes really well.

I get absolutely no intermodulation happening between two different keys played. Velocity is a per-voice modulator and it generates a value at start of each voice... so there's no way one key's velocity value would influence another key's velocity value. You're doing something wrong here.

Here's the test NKI I'm using:

Huh. Well I feel like an idiot. It sure seemed like what I described was happening. I'll have to try and figure out what I did wrong, or if I'm just hearing things.

Regardless, thanks to both of you for your help!
