Does fff correspond to 127 "Part Volume" as written on the "Midi" tab? What is the numerical difference from ppp to pp to p etc? I have a piece that runs from ppp to ff where ff is comfortably audible but by pp the sounds of silence are playing. But then it is a Soundblaster AWE 32 I'm using.

Yes. The numbers assigned to each velocity is shown in a chart in the manual. But, if you don't like, them, change them. The help file explains how.

Gordon, (I presume it's you), I couldn't find the velocities in my manual, but they were in the on-line help (always useful to look there, using the Find facility in Help 95). The values are ppp 10 pp 30 p 45 mp 60 mf 75 f 92 ff 108 fff 127 In reply to Tavish, <<<Does fff correspond to 127 "Part Volume" as written on the "Midi" tab? >>> Yes. <<<What is the numerical difference from ppp to pp to p etc? >>> See above <<<I have a piece that runs from ppp to ff where ff is comfortably audible but by pp the sounds of silence are playing.

I have a piece (http://www.pcug.org.au/~apurdam/carmen.mid) which uses ppp as well as fff. The ppp sounds fine on mine, (albeit very quiet) so long as I've had a fair pp (no funny smirks, now...) before hand. Regards, Andrew PS: Have a play of the above file and tell me what you think...) I also have all of Mozart's Piano Sonata XI (K.331), which finishes with the Rondo Alla Turca at http://www.pcug.org.au/~apurdam/mzrtk331.mid and more to look at at http://www.pcug.org.au/~apurdam/noteworthy.html Cheers
