What is the MIDI fader controlling exactly?

Hi guys. As I listen to a previously recorded piano MIDI track it sounds very harsh…like I was pounding on the keys. I’m sure I didn’t play it like this. Any idea what’s going on here?

What is the midi track fader controlling exactly…main volume CC7 is it manipulating velocity?

CC 7 is main volume.
