XL7 Pad velocity

XL7 Pad velocity

2013-03-18 by raabje

hello group, 

One more. It seems to me that the pads of the XL7 aren't very sensitive for playing with different velocity. Notes sound more or less at the same volume level. Changing velocity curves doesn't change much. Hitting really soft or really hard doesn't do much.

When I play an external keyboard (AN1X synth), notes are played also much louder than with the pads. 

Stange behaviour... Is there a setting that I haven't found yet?

bye,
Jeroen

If you go into global there are settings for velocity curve and also for each preset of you turn the amp -> velocity knob that will change the velocity of the pads.

Only if that cord is set. Its all in cords.

Wll dive in the manual to learn more about chords. The PC editor will help too to visualize the internal signal flow.

I want external midi keys to be on the same volume level as the pads, and more dynamic range for the pads.
