Input the velocity value, using either the VALUE dial or
[INC] [DEC].
You can input a tie by turning VALUE all the way to the right

* When using this method of input, you can use the pads to specify the
velocity and finalize your input; after you've specified the step and
pitch to be input, strike a pad to input it. (Higher-numbered pads
produce higher velocity values; for example, striking pad 1 specifies a
velocity value of 15, while striking pad 9 specifies a velocity value of
127.)
A maximum of sixteen note numbers (pitches) can be used in a
single style.

When you have finished, press [F5 (EXIT)].
