The table below shows the relationship between actual Velocity values and the pad display:
No. of lit pads Velocity value No. of lit pads Velocity value
1 8 9 72
2 16 10 80
3 24 11 88
4 32 12 96
5 40 13 104
6 48 14 112
7 56 15 120
8 64 16 127
You can change Velocity value by pressing the pad in the Velocity value display corresponding to the
Velocity value. If you wanted the note(s) at Step 4 in the example above to have a Velocity value of 48
instead of 88, you would press pad 6 in row 3; Pads 1 to 6 will then illuminate sand.
You can also use Velocity View to change Velocity values while a pattern is playing. In this case, you
need to press and hold the pad for the step to have its Velocity value changed; you can do this at any
point in the pattern. The held step pad will illuminate red, and the two lower rows will “freeze” to
display the Velocity value of the selected step. Press the Velocity pad corresponding to the new value
required. The pattern continues to play, so you can experiment with different Velocity values in real
time and hear the differences.
Fixed Velocity
You may sometimes prefer to disable Velocity; then the notes comprising your synth sequence will
have a more “mechanical” feel to them regardless of how you hard you actually strike the pads.
Circuit Tracks has a Fixed Velocity function, which sets Velocity at a value of 96.
You can toggle Fixed Velocity mode on and off by pressing Velocity while holding down Shift. Fixed
Velocity is confirmed by the Velocity button illuminating green while Shift is pressed; in variable
Velocity mode, it illuminates red while Shift is pressed.
With Fixed Velocity selected, you will find that all synth notes you play have a Velocity value of 96 (12
pads lit).
Note that setting Velocity to Fixed does not alter the Velocity values of any notes previously recorded.
