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!

Run Velo-Setup-2.7.8.exe, or extract Velo-win.zip somewhere normal (Documents is fine, Program Files and OneDrive are not) and run Velo.exe. Windows only.

Velo v2.7.7

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!

Hi, everyone!

Reclaim your days with the Maestro role. With it, you get faster transcriptions, access to create 67 configurations in Velo MidiPlayer, the ability to publish MIDIs on our site, and much more. Use this command:

/maestro trial

Thank you for trusting Velo ❤️

Velo v2.7.4

Velo 2.7.4

Configs, fixed.

• You can take a published config down, and change who sees it. Publishing was one-way — and since 2.7.3 staff could remove yours while you couldn't.
• The gallery stopped at 24 configs. There's a Load more now.
• Deleting a config asks first instead of going on one click.
• A config you haven't published says so, and a refused publish keeps its reason on screen instead of fading away.

Henrique hit the old publishing limit, which is what sent me back into Configs. Maestro carries 67 configs and 67 publishes a day now — that one's on the site, so it's already live whatever version you're on.

Velo v2.7.3

Velo 2.7.3

The animated background was juddering — Henrique spotted it.

It doesn't get redrawn sixty times a second on purpose: doing that used to burn a whole CPU core with the app just sitting there. But what replaced it moved on a fixed clock, in jumps of up to 2.4 px. It paces itself now, by how far the background actually moved, so no step crosses a single pixel — and it still costs a fraction of redrawing everything.

Velo v2.7.2

Velo 2.7.2

All Practice this time.

• Arrange came back when you play with a MIDI keyboard. It used to disappear the moment you switched Input to MIDI, which left you stuck on Faithful — the hardest one — with no way out. Faithful, Balanced and Easy are all there now, whatever you're playing with.
• Finishing a sheet actually finishes it. The bar used to fill up one note before the end, and after the last note the sheet just sat there — nothing to press, no way to start over without leaving the tab. Now the last note takes it to 100%, and a moment later the sheet comes back ready from the top.
• The MIDI output was findable only if you already knew where it was. It lives in the Sound picker, but nothing on the bar said "output" — so the ports sat in the list looking like more instruments. There's a heading over them now, and the Sound label reads "Sound / Output" while you're on MIDI input.
• Practice sharps: Shift or No Shift (Settings → Controls → Keyboard). Shift is how the game really works — holding it changes what the game hears — so it's the default and it's honest practice. No Shift writes the sheet in lowercase and lets the plain key count, which makes the awkward stretches a lot easier. The note you hear is the same sharp either way, and copied or saved sheets don't change.

Almost all of this came from Yami, who kept picking at Practice until it made sense — including the last one, which started as a suggestion and turned into a setting.
