Core Content

Change: Adjusted default volume of damage and death character voice SFX to be more balanced with the other default player sounds and voices.

Change: Updated Piano Sampled Instrument 01 SFX:
- New source sounds recorded from a Steinway & Sons Grand Piano with round-robin notes. (Each note has more than one sample when played).
- Several velocity samples (light, medium, heavy) added as well for a more realistic and natural sounding piano. These are already built-in to the instrument asset and change depending on the "Velocity" parameter.

- 0 - 43 - Light Velocity Samples
- 44 - 86 - Medium Velocity Samples
- 87-127 - Heavy Velocity Samples
-
New: Added (Standard MIDI) "Velocity" parameter to control the instrument note strike/hit strength.
- Velocity in this case is the force with which a note is played, and it is vitally important in making MIDI performances sound human.
- Velocity generally affects note loudness, sound color, and timbre.
- MIDI velocity range min/max is 0-127.
-
New: Added "Sustain" parameter to control how long the note is sustained.
-
New: Added "Release" parameter to control a special fade that occurs when a note is "released" or stopped after the sustain duration is completed.
