Why is my instrument not responding to velocity?

When you are playing long techniques with most of our orchestral libraries such as BBC Symphony Orchestra or Albion ONE the dynamics (how loud/hard the instrument is played) is not affected by the velocity (how hard you play the keyboard).

Instead the dynamics is controlled by MIDI CC#1 - this is usually the modulation wheel found next to the pitch wheel on most MIDI keyboards, or by moving the dynamics fader in the plugin window.

Short techniques - such as staccato or spiccato - should respond to velocity in most libraries by default.
