NOTE: Tip 1: Most of the arpeggiator patterns are programmed with velocity data – so be
sure to experiment with different velocity mod settings in your arp patches!
NOTE: Tip 2: Make sure the target destinations have somewhere to go – for example, there is
no point applying a negative offset to a parameter that is already set to zero!!
NOTE: Tip 3: You will need to make sure your controller keyboard is velocity sensitive to ben-
efit fully from this functionality!
> OSC 1
This determines to what degree Osc 1 Shape is affected by velocity. At positive values, a
positive offset is applied to Osc 1 Shape as you play harder. For example, if Osc 1 Shape is
set to 0, and Osc 1 Vel Mod is set to +64, as you play progressively harder, Osc 1 Shape will
move towards saw, and at full velocity (127) will reach pulse. At negative values, a negative
offset is applied to Osc 1 Shape as you play harder; therefore Osc 1 Shape needs to be set to
something considerably higher than 0 for you to notice any effect here.
> OSC 2
This determines to what degree Osc2 Shape is affected by velocity. (See Osc 1 for more
details).
> PW
This determines to what degree the pulse width of oscillators 1 and 2 are affected by velocity.
At least one of these oscillators need to be set to Shape = +65 or higher before you will notice
any difference here.
> FM
This determines to what degree Osc 2 frequency modulation is affected by velocity. Positive
values result in an increase in FM depth as you play harder, whereas negative values result in
a decrease in FM depth as you play harder.
> VOL
This determines to what degree the patch volume is affected by velocity. Set this to a positive
value for the traditional response, i.e. the harder you play, the louder the note. Negative val-
ues have the opposite effect, i.e. the harder you play, the quieter the note!
