EDIT PROGRAM /

HIGH VELOCITY This parameter set the high velocity range for the selected zone.

LOW VELOCITY This parameter sets the low velocity for the selected zone.

For normal playback, you would normally set a zone to have a velocity

range of 0-127. However, by assigning different samples to the zones

and setting high and low velocity as appropriate, you can achieve velocity

crossfade and switching. For example:

In the first example, there are four distinctly different bass samples played

with different styles and these can be switched between using MIDI

velocity. Play soft and you’ll hear the sample SOFTBASS; play a bit

harder and you’ll hear THUMBBASS but really hit your keyboard hard

and you’ll hear PULL BASS.

If the velocity ranges overlap as shown in the second example, you can

use ZONE XFADE (F16) so that the zones will crossfade giving a

smoother transition.

ZONE XFADE This ‘checkbox’ switches velocity crossfade on and off. With it set to off,

the zones will switch; when set to ON, zones with overlapping velocity

ranges will crossfade for a smoother transition.
