TRIGGERING SETTINGS ZONE VOLUME
Under this tab you can further adjust dynamics. It is recommended to make changes here after you’re sure
that the pad has been properly set up and you just need to adjust nuances to your taste. On the left side of the
screen there is a
Velocity Amp adjustment per each zone. On the right side there is a Volume Amp adjustment
for each zone.
Velocity Amp adjusts the actual velocity triggering of the zone. Typical example of using this adjustment is when
the head of the pad has a piezo and the rim is a switch. It doesn’t have separate sensitivity and amp adjustment in
Advanced Triggering Settings. The only way to adjust the dynamics before Velocity Amp is using the
Top Velocity
fader. Adjust the Top Velocity fader down but don’t move it all the way down. You need to keep a fair amount of
dynamic range untouched. You need to amplify the whole velocity range. That’s when Velocity Amp comes into
play. Go to this tab and adjust the Velocity Amp to your taste (consider making the fader value higher).
Volume Amp is just a volume adjustment for the zone. Typical example - You want the rimshot on the snare to
be quieter or louder. Another example would be the chick on the Hi-Hat. When you don’t want to adjust velocities
and you want to adjust only volume - use the
Volume Amp.
