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 37 will trigger both “Monster FM Jupiter” and “TR-ARP 2600 Triangle” as a layered sound.
    • As your velocities increase above 37, you’ll trigger “TR-Juno 60 Big Saw” and as you play harder, “TR-ARP 2600 Triangle” will start to fade away.
    • Velocities above 62 will start to trigger “TR-CS-80 Deep Dark Octave” and as you play harder, “TR-ARP 2600 Triangle” will fade away.
    • At 67, you’ll trigger both “TR-CS-80 Deep Dark Octave” and “TR-SH-101 Fat Saw” as a layered sound.
    • Velocities above 97 will trigger only “TR-SH-101 Fat Saw.”
