Pattern step display
Velocity value display
In Velocity View, the two upper rows of the grid represent the pattern steps. In the example shown
above, Steps 4, 14 and 16 are brightly lit, indicating that these steps have notes associated with them.
One pad in the Pattern step display will flash alternate white/blue: this is the step whose Velocity
value is being displayed.
The two lower rows of the grid make up a 16-pad “fader”; the number of pads illuminated “sand” is the
Velocity value for the selected step. In the example shown, the displayed Velocity value is 11 (equivalent
to an actual Velocity value of 88 – see page 44): the remainder of the Velocity value display is unlit.
If you record in real time – i.e., while the sequencer is running and recording – the velocity value is set
internally to 7-bit accuracy: a value between 0 and 127. However, Velocity View can only display the
Velocity value to a resolution of 16 increments of 8 value steps each (because there are only 16 pads
available). This means that you are likely to see the “last” pad in the display lit at a lower brightness.
For example, if the Velocity value is 100, you will see Pads 1 to 12 fully lit, and Pad 13 dimly lit,
because the value of 100 lies midway between two multiples of eight.
