VELO Mode lets you control Part-switching and cross-fading with your playing Velocity. The Parts are triggered based on their placement along the Horizontal Axis and the velocity of the incoming MIDI messages.

Part Regions can still be configured in the same manner (with fades, cross-fades, splits, etc.), but each is mapped to a specific Velocity Range.

The Mini-Keyboard is replaced in the Footer by white numbers representing 127 Velocity Values (1~127). The incoming MIDI Note Messages (and their Velocity Values) are displayed as Vertical Yellow Bars. As you play notes on your controller, their Velocity Values will be displayed.


  • In the example above, velocities below 36 will trigger only “Crackle Hog.”
  • From 37 to 60, only “Analog Elysium” will be heard.
  • As you play harder, “Analog Elysium” and “Classic Prophet VS” will crossfade with each other from 61 to 85.
  • From 86 to 108, you’ll trigger only “Classic Prophet VS.”
  • Velocities above 109 will trigger only “Absolutely Hollow.”

NOTE: When using VELO MODE, all Parts in the Grid will be triggered simultaneously, even if their Regions are outside the mapped range and are not outputting audio. Therefore, this feature can put a high demand on the CPU on your system.
