Velocity
If a Drum event (trigger) in the current Pattern is too loud or quiet, you can edit its
velocity using this encoder. First select the drum track/sound in question by pressing the
corresponding key of the keyboard, then press the step button for that step in the Pattern.
Turning the encoder will choose a new value in the range 1-127.
The default velocity is 100.
♪: Drum velocity values are transmitted via MIDI (Out 1, Out 2, USB) but are not sent to the Drum
Gate outputs; they only transmit gates.
Time Shift
The Time Shift encoder can be used to shift the timing of Drum events (triggers) backward
or forward in relation to the beat grid. This can help to add a 'humanised' feel to your drum
patterns. The range is -49 to +50, or half of the current Time Division value.
Randomness
Use the Randomness encoder to randomly mute Drum events in your sequence. Turning
this encoder counter-clockwise reduces the probability that an event in a step will cause a
trigger to be generated. In the fully clockwise position, all events will always cause triggers.

Step-Editing a Drum Pattern
One important function of the step buttons is to activate or deactivate each step in the
Pattern. When a step button is lit, a note will play at the velocity you played on the key or
set using the Velocity encoder and will keep playing for as long as you want it to (the Gate
time). To silence a Drum event, simply press its step button to deactivate it.
