I just got bigwig last week but haven’t installed it yet, I’ll have to try this and maybe to find specific steps to reproduce, I’ve only used the desktop so far with din midi using actual keyboards. Do you know what velocity midi # equivalent is being sent?
I don’t think its defective but I have gone from playing a note on a given keyboard synth itself with a light touch then turning up the volume on the Prophet 6 and zero sound comes out, and my experience with the Trigon keyboard controlling the prophet using velocity curve 0 which is the full 0-127 mirrors what I’ve read in Sequential’s forums about the Prophet 6 keyboard.

You can see sequential staff posting in there about adding the curves due to this issue, and some people finding it satisfactory (and some other people not in other threads).
It’s definitely playable truncating the midi data with curves 4-7 but it’s nothing “feel wise” like how the rev.4 responds to the full velocity data.
It’s still a very good synth despite this, but I sure hope it’s stale calibration data causing my problem here.
Bitwig doesn’t tell you the MIDI 0-127 number, you either see it as a line under the note that you can make taller or shorter, or in a side inspector panel with a 0-100% I tried both and I was able to watch Bitwig’s peak meter go up through the full range, and it seems like when I’m playing I can get a smooth response from my Kontrol S61 mk3, though I’m no virtuoso… or even very good, but it seems to feel more or less continuous, as least as far as my sensitivity goes.
BTW, all of this is happening via USB, and nothing is directly hooked up to my 6 module. Everything goes though Bitwig. Maybe there’s something different about using DIN MIDI?
I also use MPE a bit, from a Roli Rise 49, and recently from a Linnstrument, so stuff like this usually stands out to me, so when you wrote that I instantly thought it sounded weird to me. If velocity wasn’t working right it would be especially noticeable from the Rise, which can be really expressive.
Or it could be the keyboard itself that’s the issue. I’ve never owned a Prophet 6 keyboard version, or touched one.
