Out Low to 127, the slope of the line will be reversed, and softly played notes will actually
produce the loudest output.
What happens to incoming notes that are outside of the range set with the Range and
Lowest controls? This depends on which Mode is selected.
Clip Mode does just what it says: It clips incoming note velocities so that they stay
within the range.
Gate Mode removes incoming notes altogether if their velocities are outside of the
range. You will see the little LED below the X-Y display ash when a note is blocked
by gating.
In Fixed Mode, the Out Hi velocity denes all outgoing note velocities, regardless of
incoming note velocity.
The Random function adds or subtracts a random value to the all velocities, and is repre-
sented by a gray area on the display curve.
The Drive and Compand controls can be combined to create more complex curves. Com-
pand is a simultaneous expanding and compressing tool. When set to values greater than
zero, it forces incoming notes to the outer boundaries of the curve, making them play ei-
ther loudly or softly. Compand values of less than zero, on the other hand, force outgoing
velocity toward the mid-range. Drive pushes all values in the curve to the outer extremes.
Use these two controls together to sculpt or even redene the dynamic structure of a piece.
