Hi All
Does anyone have the old LoVel.cal script?
I use HiVel.cal quite a bit, and I've seen reference somewhere to its compliment - LoVel.cal
Over the years I have hoovered up any CAL files I come across.
But in the hundreds I have. I cant find LoVel.cal anywhere.
 
Maybe it doesnt work anymore?
 
Anyway if someone can post it or point me to it, I would be grateful
 
Cheers

Should still be shipping and installing with SONAR, I think.

I have a giant Cal archive on my Onedrive public folder. See my signature. If you have some Cal resources please pass them on to me so I can share them with the members.

I have the latest SPlat installed and only HiVel, Scale Velocity and VaryVel CAL scripts relating to velocity. Those date from 12/30/2011, so if there's a LoVel.cal it must predate those.

Hi All
Does anyone have the old LoVel.cal script?



What's that supposed to do? Can't you use Varyvel.cal or ScaleVelocity.cal instead?
You probably had already seen this. Just in case anyone finds these links useful...

I would like to see what a LoVel predator looks like. I can easily imagine a creature combating Danny DeVito character on some California beach... errr in poker! Sorry, Susan, couldn't resist.

Looking at hivel.cal with a text editor, that particular script goes though your selected notes and displays the highest velocity value and where in the track that note occurs.  

I suspect that LoVel.cal does the same thing, but finds and displays the lowest velocity instead.  I should not be too hard to modify hivel.cal to display the lowest velocity

Hi Mudgel
Yes your stash is the most comprehensive I know of. Thanks for keeping it open to everyone. It was the first place I looked.
Basically all LoVel.cal does is give you the value of the lowest velocity in a selection. Not very exciting, but useful to me as I am learning to pay much more attention to velocity ranges and midi dynamics in general. 
Apart from issues between using Finale and Sibelius, careful use of velocity helps make the most basic vsts sound better.
So just about every midi track gets checked for its highest velocity using HiVel.cal - Easy and bindable to a keyboard shortcut.
Then I open the event list and scroll up and down looking for the lowest - Not Easy. 
I use VaryVel.cal and ScaleVelocity.cal as well, but it helps to know the range of velocity first.
 
I saw a reference to using HiVel.cal and LoVel.cal together somewhere in the bowels of this forum a while ago. So I started looking.
It appears to have been one of the default installed cals once apon a time. But appears to have been retired. Maybe it didn't work any more.

I did have a look at the text of the file hoping the script was so simple that even I could understand it and bend it to my will.
Nope
Its still a bit beyond my pitiful programming skills.
Ideally if HiVel could be wrangled into LoVel or even better HiLoVel.cal, well that would be the plan.
Time to look at that Cal Programming Manual from Mudgels Cal stash.....

I too could not find LoVel in my archive, but look what I found instead. It works in Platinum.
