By selecting the Zoom “magnifying glass” icon next to the different Velocity curves presets the VELOCITY CURVE ZOOM page will appear. This page provides extensive controls to create and modify many different velocity curves. The Velocity curve settings are global to the Patch—meaning that curve settings will apply to both Layers, but the amount applied by Layer can be controlled.
You can save, copy, and load preset Velocity curves from the down-triangle next to the VELOCITY CURVE ZOOM.
CURVE DISPLAY
When any changes are applied to the SLOPE & OFFSET sliders (described below) or the CONTROL POINT in the display, the shape of the curve change will change accordingly in this display.
AMP ENV (Layer A & Layer B)
The AMP ENV (Amplitude Envelope) independently controls how much the Amplitude Envelope is affected to the Velocity curve. If the knobs are set to a low level, then keyboard velocity won’t have much effect on the Amplitude Envelope’s control of the level of the layer.
FILTER ENV (Layer A & Layer B)
The FILTER ENV (Filter Envelope) independently controls how much the Filter Envelope is affected to the Velocity curve. If the controls are set to a low level, then keyboard velocity won’t have much effect on the Filter Envelope’s control of the Filter.
SLOPE
The horizontal slider below the Curve Display controls the steepness, or slope, of the velocity curve. If the slider is set all the way to the right, the curve will be very steep and moving all the way to the left with show a horizontal (or flat) curve.
OFFSET
The vertical slider offsets the velocity curve by raising and lowering it within the display. By raising it the curve will start at a higher level and moving the slider down will set the velocity curve to a minimum level.
CONTROL POINT
The Control-Point determines the shape of the velocity curve, whether it’s a positive or negative curve (or a straight linear curve). With the Control Point and the OFFSET and SLOPE sliders it’s possible to create a wide variety of possible curves.
