hivel Opcode

Causes the associated region to play when a constraint on MIDI velocity is respected. Used in conjunction with lovel, it makes the region play when the incoming note's velocity is equal to or higher than lovel and equal to or lower than hivel. Velocity is a MIDI value that indicates how forcefully the note is played.

Opcode Prototype

hivel=[upper limit]

Parameter

The mandatory [upper limit] parameter defines the range's upper limit. This parameter only accepts valid MIDI velocity values (from 0 to 127).

Allowed Sections

May be used in sections <global> and <region>.

Examples

Defines a snare instrument with three regions/velocity ranges: 0-70, 71-125 and 126-127 for the rim shot.

<region>
sample=mysamples/snare-soft.wav

sample=mysamples/snare-hard.wav
lovel=71
hivel=125
<region>
sample=mysamples/snare-rimshot.wav
lovel=126
hivel=127
