Is there a way to copy a volume automation into a velocity automation?

[Keith Young]

I would like to do this and then use the offset tool to offset either form to get a balance between amplifying the sound and simulating the effect of playing louder.

It's not currently possible to automate Velocity Offset. If the synth is programmable you might get the same effect by assigning a controller(s) to brighten the tone, open a filter or do whatever else it is that makes the timbre change with velocity and automate the controller(s). If the synth is a sampler with velocity layers, you're kind of out of luck.

You could use a velocity-scaling plugin, and reassign the copied volume (CC7, etc) to it's appropriate parameter. 

 

Unfortunatley the cakewalk velocity MFX isn't automatable.  I cant remember if Variorum's MFX are automatable (the "compressor" modifies velocity, so it should be able to do what you're after if it is).  

I think there's one by NiallMoody for velocity scaling, but don't recall if it's automatable. 

Might be others.
