P3 The Velocity Curve Function - Alesis DM Pro Reference Manual

P3 T
HE
This Function allows you to choose one of the fifteen preset curves to match the DM
Pro's Triggers to your playing style and pad output. The default Value is
which has a response to Velocity that most evenly climbs from soft to loud. The
various Velocity Curve types are described below. With most pads, these Velocity
Curves will allow you to generate MIDI velocities across the full 128-step range.
To choose your desired Velocity Curve, move the cursor beneath the Value and turn
the Value encoder:

Note that the level indicator remains in the display on this page as well. The level
indicator can help you choose which Curve to employ by giving you visual feedback
of the Trigger Inputs.
Here is a list of the Velocity Curves available to you:
LINEAR
EXPONENTIAL 1
EXPONENTIAL 2
EXPONENTIAL 3
EXPONENTIAL 4
EXPONENTIAL 5
LOG 1
LOG 2
S-CURVE 1
S-CURVE 2
S-CURVE 3
S-CURVE 4

FIXED
On the next page you will find a series of graphs which represent the response
characteristics of each Velocity Curve.

less steep, approaching linear response
light/medium steep
medium steep exponential curve
even more steep
steepest curve; hard to get full velocity hits, slow curving up
lightest Logarithmic curve, basically the opposite response of
Exp 1
medium sharp log
S-curves for low and high response – not medium - quick
transition from low to high
slightly sharper S-curve, quicker transition
quick low to high transition, great for two-velocity drumming
fast transition from low to high; almost no medium response,
only low and high response
exact opposite of Linear

everything played is set to the GAIN parameter level; adjust
