Hi, I’m on 2.7.0 and I just noticed, when triggering chords via keybind, no matter how hard I slam the my MIDI keyboard’s keys, the velocity seems to be capped max at 89. Is this normal/changeable in Scaler?

I noticed the UI velocity is set to 89 for mouse clicking the chords and changing that does work for mouse clicks, but I’m more concerned with the trigger behavior via keybind MIDI. Not sure if it’s maybe a bug in this version either. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Under the Gear icon on the upper right on the Scaler GUI you will see playback. There you can change the velocity cap if you want. You can set the default there.
