VELOCITY SENSITIVITY SECTION

In this section, you set how much velocity effects various sound parameters.

XTo edit the Velocity Sensitivity parameters press the F5 button (Lfo Mod) on your MPC hardware. Use Q-Link knobs Q9 – Q12 for direct access of all 4 parameters. Keep in mind that a DRUM program uses different dials for controlling than a KEYGROUP program.

The parameters of this section determine how much influence the velocity has on PITCH, Filter Envelope Attack (ATK), Amplifier (AMP) and Panning (PAN). When you hit a pad softly, only minimal modulation is applied. When you hit it harder, the modulation amount also gets stronger depending on the setting of the corresponding dial.

LFO SECTION

An LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) generates a periodic waveform with adjustable frequency and shape which can be used for modulation purposes.

XTo edit the LFO parameters press the F5 button (Lfo Mod) on your MPC hardware. Use Q-Link knobs Q1 – Q8 for direct access to all 8 parameters. Keep in mind that a DRUM program uses different controls than a KEYGROUP program.

The WAVE parameter sets the LFO waveform. The following waveforms

are available:

•Triangle (suited for smooth modulations)

•Sine (suited for smooth modulations)

•Square (interesting for hard pan modulations)

•Saw (can generate interesting filter or volume changes)

•Saw Down (can generate interesting filter or volume changes)

•Noise (generates random values and glides)

•S&H (samples a random value and holds it until the next value is generated)

RATE determines the frequency of the LFO. At low values, it might take some time for the LFO to complete a cycle, while higher values will come close to audible range. When SYNC is activated, the LFO is synced to the tempo, based on the rate selected in the pop-up menu (when "None" is selected, SYNC is off). The RATE setting controls the speed of the LFO and lets you dial in musically useful values. When RESET is deactivated, the LFO runs independently. If activated, the LFO resets at the beginning of each note. The LFO modulation destinations determine the amount of effect of the LFO has on PITCH, Filter Cutoff frequency (FILTER), Volume (AMP) and Panning (PAN).
