You can change Velocity value by pressing the pad in the Velocity value display rows that corresponds
to the Velocity value. If you wanted the hit at Step 12 in the example above to have a Velocity value of
96 instead of 40, you would press pad 12; Pads 1 to 12 now illuminate sand. If you want to decrease a
Velocity value, press the pad corresponding to the required value.

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 other two rows will “freeze”
to display the Velocity value of the selected step. Press the pad corresponding to the new value
required. The pattern continues to play, so you can experiment with different Velocity values in real
time.
You can also add drum hits in Velocity View. Hold down the pad corresponding to the step
where a hit is to be added, and press a pad on the two lower rows; the pad defines the
velocity of that hit. This is great for adding a series of “ghost” hits at low volume.
Probability
Circuit Tracks’ Probability function can be applied to individual steps on any of the Drum tracks
in exactly the same manner as it is to individual steps on either Synth track. Note that as regards
the drum tracks, probability is applied per step, not per micro step, so if there are multiple hits on
different micro step, either all they will all trigger, or none of them will.
Probability View is the secondary view of the Pattern Settings button
7
. Open by holding Shift and
pressing Pattern Settings, or press Pattern Settings a second time if already in Pattern Settings View
to toggle the View.
A full description of Probability can be found in the Synth section of the User Guide: see page 48.
