Level
Set the range of trigger levels for the target input
1
, as
minimum and maximum values. Trigger levels within the
specified range are accordingly converted into velocity values.
If the trigger signal is below the minimum level, no sound is
output. If the trigger signal exceeds the maximum level, it
will be converted into the maximum velocity, specified with
the Velocity
7
parameter. When you hit the pad, the trigger
level is displayed as a percentage to the right of Level.
❏
Settings:
Minimum level: 0~99, Maximum level: 1~100
7
Velocity
Set the range of velocity values that corresponds to the Level
range
6
, as minimum and maximum values. The drum
voice will sound in the specified velocity range. When you hit
the pad, the converted velocity value is displayed to the right
of Velocity.
❏
Settings:
Minimum velocity: 0~126, Maximum velocity: 1~127
n
Setting a high minimum velocity will produce a loud sound when
you hit the pad lightly. However, this will narrow the dynamic
range and reduce the amount of expressive control you have over the
volume change.

Ex. 1
In this illustration, velocity values are output for
trigger levels between 12% and 99%. For a trigger
level of 12%, the velocity is 001. For a trigger level of
99%, the velocity is 127.
Ex. 2
In this illustration, velocity values are output for
trigger levels between 50% and 99%. For a trigger
level of 50%, the velocity is 064. For a trigger level of
99%, the velocity is 127. No sound is produced
(velocity value of zero) for trigger levels between 0%
and 49%.
n
This “trigger level to velocity” conversion is also applied to
the rim velocity (velocity output from the pad rim; page
41). When you use a pad rim for cymbal muting, the
trigger level generated by holding the rim will be converted
to a velocity value of zero.
