Hi all,
I have MIDI file of a piano piece which I have opened up in Finale
(Win 2004) and am now cleaning up. My problem is that the r.h. is
playing back much softer than the l.h.
The piece has absolutely no expressions or articulations in it. I
don't have much experience with the MIDI tool, but I was able to use
it to set all key velocities throughout the piece to 64. I don't see
anything else that would affect playback volume.
Any suggestions on where to look?
First place I'd try is the "Instruments" list, under the Windows
submenu; I suspect that the two staves are assigned to different
instruments on different channels, and that switching both staves to
the instrument (and if the same instrument happens to be defined for
two separate channels, the same channel, too) might resolve the issue.
Checking in Instruments list that the two staves are assigned to the
same channel is a good idea; if they are, then CC7 (or ANY MIDI message
at all) could not possibly affect one without affecting the other.
Checking to see if playback plays back entered velocities is another
idea, because if you entered one hand playing gently and the other
playing harder, that would cause the two hands to play back at
different volumes, too.
To find this option, click the triangle in the Playback window to open
up more options, then click Playback Options. The first item listed is
Play Recorded Key Velocities. Unchecking this might solve the issue.
