Element Description
SCALE Section
Velocity Adjusts the velocity response of the drum. Available values range
from -100.0 % to 100.0 % (default value). At zero (mid course),
the drum is played at full velocity, no matter how hard you hit the
keys (or pads). From that mid position, by turning the knob to the
right you increase the positive velocity response and make the drum
more and more sensitive to the velocities at which you hit the keys/
pads. From the mid position, turning the knob to the left as the
inverse effect: the harder you hit the key/pad, the softer the
resulting drum sound will be.
