I understand the basic relationships between the normal use of the CC’s but you’re right, I answered your question with the answer that it works if you only use CC’s as I do which isn’t really what you were asking, I realise in retrospect! Trying out the VSL playback template drawing harpins in opposite directions in the Dynamics Lane and Velocity editor, it seems that If you activate VelX, that the dynamics lane settings are used and if VelX is not active then velocity settings are used. There does not appear to be a situation where the influences are combined which would seem to prove your point. But I don’t really understand or get on with this programming and it’s best to ask VSL directly unless another poster understands their logic better than me.
