Velo v2.7.10

Velo 2.7.10

This one's all about the MIDI Hub.

• New All library. One search goes through nanoMIDI, BitMidi, Online Sequencer and MuseScore at once, and it's what the Hub opens on now.
• You can listen before you download. Hit ▶ on any song and a little player shows up at the bottom. If you like it, downloading keeps that same file.
• Songs without a cover show the song itself now, drawn from its notes. The player bar too, so you can see where it gets busy before skipping there.
• Online Sequencer search had been coming back empty for months. It works again.
• MuseScore songs from our archive were quietly blocked for everyone. They're back, and they load fast.
• The updater only installs Velo's own releases now, and checks the file before touching anything.

The first time you search Online Sequencer or MuseScore, their window might flash for a second. That's them checking you're human, it goes away on its own.

Run Velo-Setup-2.7.10.exe, or extract Velo-win.zip somewhere normal (Documents is fine, Program Files and OneDrive are not) and run Velo.exe. Windows only.

Velo v2.7.9

Velo 2.7.9

Two ideas from the server, and a couple of fixes that came along with them.

• Songs have parts now. There's a mark on the seek bar where each one starts, and clicking it jumps there. If the MIDI doesn't have any, Velo guesses them from the notes, and you can mark your own with + Mark here. The mini-player shows them too.
• New in Random Fail: Fix mistakes. After a wrong note, Velo stops, goes back a little and plays it again, right this time. You choose how far back, anywhere from 0.1 to 8 seconds.
• Wrong notes land on the key next to the right one now, not anywhere up to an octave away.
• Jumping into the middle of a song used to leave the sustain pedal up until the file pressed it again. It comes back right away now.

Fix mistakes starts off. To make it sound natural, go to Settings → Playing → Random Fail, keep Wrong notes low (1 or 2 is plenty) and start with Go back at about a second. It fixes one mistake every 20 seconds at most and plays through the rest, so with Wrong notes high it just sounds like someone having a rough day.

Extract Velo-win.zip somewhere normal — Documents is fine, Program Files and OneDrive are not — and run Velo.exe. Or use Velo-Setup-2.7.9.exe. Windows only.

I will be away for a few days. The roof at the company where I work has collapsed, and I am helping with the cleanup. This place is my life, and I cannot live without it. Please accept my apologies. Everything is covered in debris.

Velo v2.7.8

Velo 2.7.8

Two new things from the server.

• Keep playing: when a song ends, the next one in your list starts on its own. Hover it and click the gear to pick the time between songs, or go below zero and the next one starts before the current ends.
• New Expression mode, Bass. Basically Melodic flipped: the left hand leads and the melody sits under it.

Thanks for the ideas!

Velo v2.7.7

A few things from the server this time.

• The Queue can be sorted now: A–Z, newest or oldest. It works inside playlists too, and the list plays in the order you pick.
• Octaves got a little gear. Hover over it and you can give each octave its own delay, so the extra notes don't all land at the same instant.
• Some of you had your hotkeys and song hotkeys go back to default after an update. That's fixed, and trying someone else's config doesn't touch your hotkeys anymore either.

The octave delay was tiguju's idea. Thanks for sending these in!

Hey everyone.

Quick thing. Most of the good stuff in Velo came from people in this server. Melodic was a suggestion here, and so was the installer. A member told me search felt laggy, and it was a real bug.

I want more of that. What would you add to Velo? Something you wish it did, or something that annoys you every time you use it. It doesn't have to be realistic.

Put it in <#1525144470709080185>. I read everything.

And if you know someone who plays, show them Velo. That's how most of you got here anyway.

Thanks<:velo:1518618137866534984> 🤍 @everyone

Velo v2.7.6

small fixes <3

you can request to delete the tag too. 👀

hi <@&1518604780082168100>

i’ve created a new tag in <#1525144470709080185> called “request delete”.

if you come across something that you think is useless or unnecessary on velomidi or in the discord server, you can submit a request to have it removed.

once a request is submitted, we’ll wait for members to vote on it. if it gets enough upvotes, we’ll consider removing it, while downvote can show that people still find it useful.

if there aren’t enough votes after some time, we may ask more members to vote so we can get a clearer idea of what the community thinks.

if you already have Velo downloaded ignore. it wont change anything in your life

Velo v2.7.5

Velo 2.7.5

This one's mostly about making Velo lighter.

• New Expression option: Melodic. Left hand plays softer so the melody stands out.
• MuseScore songs were way heavier than they needed to be. They come full of stuff the game never uses, and Velo was carrying all of it. The worst one in my library went from 800 MB of RAM to about 100, and from 71% of a CPU core to 6% while playing.
• With Sustain on, Velo was pressing Space all the time on some MuseScore songs, even ones with no pedal. Fixed, and the same thing on MIDI keyboards (the mod wheel was pressing the pedal).
• Velocity changes happen before the note now, so notes don't come in late anymore.
• A few MuseScore import fixes: downloads failing with "not a MIDI" (almost always with an ad blocker on), importing breaking if you closed the helper window, and "Load more" showing the same songs again.

Melodic was a suggestion from the server, thanks!
