The Note Velocity range is between 0 and 127, which means you can toggle the velocity in a total of 7 different strengths. The V Key increases (raises) the Note Velocity by 20 values.The C Key decreases (lowers) the Note Velocity by 20 values.

You can, however, adjust the velocity of the notes by using the C and V keys Since your computer keyboard is not velocity sensitive, all notes will be recorded with the same velocity. This makes it possible for you to play both basslines, in the lower octave ranges, and melodies or leads in the higher octave ranges. While the Virtual MIDI Keyboard will start off by the A Key being C3 you can change the octaves by pressing the Z and X keys You can also change the Current Octave and the Note Velocity when you're playing using the Virtual MIDI Keyboard in Ableton Live. It might take a while to learn the arrangement, but once you do it's almost like playing a real MIDI keyboard you just learn by muscular memory where all the correct keys are.

These keys are used to play a semitone (half a note) up or down from its' neighboring white keys. The Black Piano Keys are usually referred to as the flat or sharp keys on the piano. In addition to the natural white piano keys, there are also black keys to complement them in chords and note progressions. The White Piano Keys are the natural notes on the piano and make up the majority of the piano keys. Since there is no visual representation of which key is which (black or white), you just have to practice and learn them. When you use the Virtual MIDI Keyboard, the keys on your computer keyboard are effectively turned into piano keys instead. The Virtual MIDI Keyboard in Ableton Live is activated by pressing the M Key or clicking the small keyboard icon in the top right corner of the Ableton Live application.Īs soon as the icon lights up, you can use your computer keyboard as a MIDI keyboard and play in real time to try out instruments, sounds and effects.
