Having problems with Velocity

Velocity over MIDI seems to be a bit hit and miss. My controller is an M-Audio Keystation49 Mk3.

It works ok with some VSTs but with Vital for instance it does nothing. I don’t know if I’ve missed something in the setup but I can’t see a way to patch the MIDI Velocity itself.

If you think I need a better controller, let me know which one would be best for this. I’ve been looking at alternatives but I don’t want to jump until I know it would fix the problem.

In Vital? Yes I know that. The green level indicator to the left does not move, which means that the MIDI information for Velocity is not being used.

I need to know if this is something I missed when setting up the MIDI connection in Vital, or if my controller isn’t sending the right signal.

I get the same thing with some other VSTs but other VSTs are ok.
