The Velocity controls
Velocity is used for controlling various parameters according to how hard or soft
you play notes on your keyboard. A typical use of velocity control is to make
sounds brighter and louder if you strike a key harder. By using the knobs in this
section, you can control if and how much the various parameters will be affected
by velocity.
Just like the modulation controls, all of the velocity control knobs are bi-polar,
and can be set to both positive and negative values.
• Setting them to positive values means that the value of the controlled param-
eter will be raised the harder you play.
• Setting them to negative values means that the value will be lowered the
harder you play.
• Keeping the knobs in the center position means that no velocity control is
applied.
The following parameters can be velocity controlled:
F.Freq
This sets velocity control of the Filter’s cutoff frequency (see page 179).
Mod Dec
This sets velocity control of the Decay parameter in the Modulation Envelope
(see page 180).
Level
This sets velocity control of the Amp Envelope.
Amp Env Attack
This sets velocity control of the Attack parameter in the Amplitude Envelope (see
page 181).
S. Start
This sets velocity control of the Sample Start parameter (see page 173), so that
it will be offset forwards or backwards, according to how hard or soft you play.
This allows you to control how much of the attack portion of the sample you hear
when playing harder or softer.
To be able to make use of negative values for this parameter, you must increase
the sample parameter Sample Start.
