LXP-15 Owner's Manual
4-12
The Velocity Source generates output based on the Note On velocity transmitted
by the MIDI instrument. Depending on the type of controller, this corresponds to
how quickly a key is depressed, how hard a string is picked, how hard a
percussion pad is struck, etc.

MIDI Tempo
Tempo is different from other control Sources in that its value is determined by
the rate of incoming MIDI Clock messages rather than by the physical position
of a pedal, slider or other controller. Slower clock rates produce higher Tempo
values; faster clock rates produce lower Tempo values. This allows you to create
rhythmic echoes and other effects that can be synchronized to the tempo of MIDI
drum machines and sequencers. In order to use Tempo patches, the MIDI Clock
output of a drum machine or sequencer must be patched into the LXP-15’s MIDI
IN port. In
Using Scale with Tempo
, we’ll describe how to use Tempo to produce
specific rhythm values. (Check out presets 17, 41, and 42 for examples of
patches that use Tempo as a Source.)
