Velocity
The velocity mode serves for editing the velocity/automation of the individual
drum notes for the selected drum instrument.
Reset: Sets all velocity levels to 100%
Mode switcher: Switches the section between velocity control and
Automation (view page 286).
Random: The random parameter adds random variations to the set
velocities. This helps make your beats sound more natural.
Amount: No function in velocity mode.
Velocity level: Every set note for the selected instrument is displayed as
a column and can be edited. Multiple columns can be edited at once;
see Editing velocity values and automations (view page 287).
Automation
Every parameter for a drum sound, including effects, can be automated, i.e.
can change during a pattern. For example, you can make your snare drums
more lively by adding higher voices to loud hits or by setting accents on
individual hits with reverb effects.
The synthesizer section below enables the selection of a
parameter for automation via the small blue LEDs above a
parameter controller. More about the parameter controllers in
the Synthesizer (view page 288) section.
