Page 5: Adjust Velocity Response (Velocity)
There are 11 ways in which a pad's output
level can respond to the force with which you
tap it: soft, medium, loud, and eight fixed
responses.
The display says VELOCITY. To select the
desired dynamic response, use the INC/DEC
or number buttons (1 = Fixed 1, 2 = Fixed 2,
3 = Fixed 3, 4 = Fixed 4, 5 = Fixed 5, 6 =
Fixed 6, 7 = Fixed 7, 8 = Fixed 8, 9 = Soft,
and 0 = Loud). Medium can be selected
only with the INC/DEC buttons.
Background This feature accommodates
players with a heavier or lighter touch.
Referring to the diagram, soft response
weights the response toward softer sounds;
with medium response, the level is directly
proportional to how hard you tap the pad;
loud response weights the response toward
louder sounds.
Fixed volume plays back the associated drum sound at one of eight possible volume
levels. With Fixed Volume 1, all drums assume the level of the softest possible tap,
regardless of how hard you tap the pads. With Fixed Volume 8, all drums assume the
level of the loudest possible tap, regardless of how hard you tap the pads. Fixed
Volumes 2-7 provide the levels between the softest and loudest extremes, with lower
numbers giving softer levels.
Page 6: Add/Remove Beats From Pattern End (Length)
This option either adds beats to, or subtracts beats from, the end of the Pattern.
Changing a Pattern's length also changes the length of the associated Fill Pattern.
The display says ### BEAT and LENGTH.
This indicates a Pattern's length in beats
(quarter notes). Enter the desired length with
the INC/DEC or number buttons (this must be
a three digit number; enter leading zeroes if
necessary). To prevent accidental length
alteration, you must press PLAY before the
iDM02 will store the new Pattern length.
