Notes node
Velocity Curve
Reshapes how hard you hit the keys maps to output velocity, using a single curve exponent — below 1 boosts soft hits, above 1 favors hard hits.

What it does
Velocity Curve is a note node: it makes, filters or changes notes before a synth plays them. It takes notes in and gives notes out.
Try it
Set the curve well below 1 to make a light, breathy playing style trigger notes at near-full velocity.
