The VSDSX is highly velocity sensitive, when a trigger is sent it will follow this path:
The amount of which the velocity will affect those parameters can be fine tuned
The
pitch setting
will send the pitch higher depending on the velocity, for example if you set the tone
pitch at 440Hz (A) and the pitch sensitivity is set to 2 SEMI (2 semitones) when you hit the pad hard
(velocity 127) the starting tone will be 2 semitones higher so a B note. If hit at mid power (velocity
64) the tone will start 1 semitone higher so an A# note etc…
The
volume
setting will enable or disable the velocity tracking applied to the volume, this is useful to
emulate the “run generator feature” found on certain Simmons systems, if you set the volume
tracking to OFF and the pitch setting to 1 OCTAVE, hitting the pad at different velocity will only affect
the pitch, which is useful to make tom runs on only one pad
.
