The third button will apply ascending or descending velocities to the steps. Each time you tap it, it will
cycle through these options:
•
Across the entire bar, the velocities will ascend to a peak and then descend from it.
•
In each half of the bar, the velocities will ascend to a peak and then descend from it.
•
In each quarter of the bar, the velocities will ascend to a peak and then descend from it.
•
Across the entire bar, the velocities will descend from a peak into a valley and then ascend back
up to the peak.
•
In each half of the bar, the velocities will descend from a peak into a valley and then ascend back
up to the peak.
•
In each quarter of the bar, the velocities will descend from a peak into a valley and then
ascend back up to the peak.
The fourth button will swap the first half and second half of the bar. In other words, the first half of the
bar will become a mirrored image of the second half, and vice versa.
The fifth button will invert the velocities of all steps with entered notes. The sum of the old and new
velocities will equal 127. The exception is a velocity of 127 or 1 as a step with a note cannot have a
velocity of 0.
Examples:
Steps with velocities of 40 will now have velocities of 87, and vice versa.
Steps with velocities of 75 will now have velocities of 52, and vice versa.
Steps with velocities of 127 will now have velocities of 1, and vice versa.
