This Function sets the volume response of an individual Sound. It contains two
Parameters: Velocity Curve and Sound Overlap.
P1 The VELOCITY CURVE Parameter
This Parameter defines the range in which a Sound will play based on incoming
velocity. It can be very powerful for creating "windows" for Sounds that can, when
used in combination with other complementary Sounds, result in an expressive and
dynamic Drum that musically changes timbre depending on the velocity of the note
struck. There are 13 possible Values for this Parameter:

To set the Velocity Curve for the current Sound, move the cursor beneath the
Parameter Value and then turn the Value encoder:
SND1:AMPLITUDE
VelCrv: 1of2XFD
All of these possible curves may seem confounding at first, but just think of them as a
window through which one Sound's Voice can pass. Following is an example of a
typical use for multiple Velocity Curves. In this example, the four Sounds have
related but unique Voices set to the following Velocity Curve Values:
