Pan Velocity
The Pan Velocity tab of a drum program.
Use the Pan knob to adjust the stereo placement of the respective layer.
Use the Vel Start and Vel End knobs to define the velocity range of each layer. Set the values by doing
one of the following:
A range from 0 to 127 lets the layer respond to the entire velocity range which is input from the
respectve pad while, for example, a range from 100 to 127 lets the layer respond only to higher velocity
levels. By assigning several samples of one instrument, you can create a realistic-sounding "multi-
sample" by adjusting the velocity ranges of each layer accordingly. (For example, you may have three
samples of a drum hit with low force, medium force, and high force. You can set each sample to a layer
and set the Velocity ranges so only low velocities trigger the low-force sample, only mid-range velocities
trigger the medium-force sample, and only high velocities trigger the high-force sample.)
