P3 THE VELOCITY CURVE FUNCTION

This Function allows you to choose one of the fifteen preset curves to match the DM

Pro’s Triggers to your playing style and pad output. The default Value is

Linear,

which has a response to Velocity that most evenly climbs from soft to loud. The

various Velocity Curve types are described below. With most pads, these Velocity

Curves will allow you to generate MIDI velocities across the full 128-step range.

To choose your desired Velocity Curve, move the cursor beneath the Value and turn

the Value encoder:

Vel Curve:Linear

Note that the level indicator remains in the display on this page as well. The level

indicator can help you choose which Curve to employ by giving you visual feedback

of the Trigger Inputs.

Here is a list of the Velocity Curves available to you:

LINEAR

EXPONENTIAL 1 less steep, approaching linear response

EXPONENTIAL 2 light/medium steep

EXPONENTIAL 3 medium steep exponential curve

EXPONENTIAL 4 even more steep

EXPONENTIAL 5 steepest curve; hard to get full velocity hits, slow curving up

LOG 1 lightest Logarithmic curve, basically the opposite response of

Exp 1

LOG 2 medium sharp log

S-CURVE 1 S-curves for low and high response – not medium - quick

transition from low to high

S-CURVE 2 slightly sharper S-curve, quicker transition

S-CURVE 3 quick low to high transition, great for two-velocity drumming

S-CURVE 4 fast transition from low to high; almost no medium response,

only low and high response

INVERTED exact opposite of Linear

MAX everything played is maximum)

FIXED everything played is set to the GAIN parameter level; adjust

GAIN for the FIXED velocity value. Adjust Threshold for

sensitivity

On the next page you will find a series of graphs which represent the response

characteristics of each Velocity Curve.
