Chapter 6: Creating and Editing Programsassignments. These fields are used to play one of threesounds depending on the velocity of the note received:1. If the received note’s velocity is less than or equalto the value in the first If over field, then onlythe sound selected in the Sound field plays.2. If the received note’s velocity is greater than thevalue in the first If over field but less than orequal to the value in the second If over field,then only the note number selected in the firstuse field plays.3. If the received note’s velocity is greater than thevalue in the second If over field, then only thesound assigned to the note number selected in thesecond use field plays.(The second If over field is limited to values atleast one higher than the first If over field.)In the above example, if you hit pad A01 softly you’ll hearthe Soft snare sound. Hit it harder and you’ll hear theSmack snare. Hit even harder and you’ll hear the Goliathsnare.COMMENT: If you only want to switch between 2sounds, then select the same note number in bothuse fields and use the first If over field to set thethreshold.COMMENT: Regardless of which pad plays, theindividual program parameter data (tuning, envelope,velocity data, etc.) for each of the three notenumbers are used but only the main note number’smixer data (mix volume and pan, output assignment,and output/effects mix level) are used. The advantageof this is that it is only necessary to adjust thevolume and pan, for example, of the main sound inthe mix instead of all three sounds.4. DCY SW (decay switch):This option permits one of three sounds to play dependingon the value of the Decay field in the “Envelope,Velocity, Tune...” screen. However, if any drum notescontain Note Variation decay data, it will override theDecay field’s for that note only. (The Envelope, Velocity,Tune... screen is accessed by pressing the PROGRAM/SOUNDS key and selecting option 2.)If selected, the screen appears the same as if the VELSW option above were selected, except that in this caseone of three sounds will play depending on the currentenvelope decay setting instead of the note’s velocitysetting:Page 122
