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 parameter 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 “The Filter section”).
Mod Dec
This sets velocity control of the Decay parameter in the Modulation Envelope (see “The Modulation Envelope”).
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 “The Amplitude Envelope”).
Sample Start
This sets velocity control of the Sample Start parameter (see “Sample Start and End”), so that it will be offset for-
wards 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.
