fading up from nothing = lower max vol than direct strike

[ckbarlow]

Hi, there:

Really enjoying this app. Building some custom instruments for an upcoming performance. One instrument/preset -- the bottom keyboard of a multi in landscape mode -- uses X axis for volume.

My issue: I've found that if I strike a note in this preset at the top, I get a nice full volume, but if I fade it in by sliding up from the bottom, I can't reach that same volume. Is this related to the velocity implementation? (I guess logically it shouldn't be, because I'm not retriggering...) I have the min vol at lowest possible, but that shouldn't be a factor, right?

The workaround I've found is to hit the top of the key and then slide to the bottom as quickly as possible. If I do it well, the note doesn't sound at the higher volume, just the lower, and I can do a reasonable fade in and also reach the full volume.

Thanks for any advice/help/best practices.

Are you using multiple samples per note (velocity layering)? If not then I'll need to investigate because I think the initial touch position may be affecting velocity and thus the maximum possible volume, when arguably it shouldn't in this case.

Nope, no velocity layering.

Multiple samples, but divided by key range to provide access to many distinct sounds from a single keyboard, more like a drum set.

Thanks for the quick response - looking forward to resolving!
