16.Make sure all four velocity splits are still highlighted. This filter will span all four splits. (You can however have individual filter settings for each velocity split if you want.)

Also notice that the Release Time (3.000 sec) is indicated here as well.

17.Go back to the Parameters Window and change to the Filter category.

18.Set the Filter Type parameter to Lowpass.

19.Now play the Kick Drum and notice how the tone gets darker or brighter depending on how hard you play. There are two types of tone change happening here at once. One is the sound of the velocity switching between softer and louder recordings of the Kick Drum. The other is the Lowpass Filter. Between these two things, you can get a smooth transition from soft to loud. Feel free to experiment with the other filter settings.

The final step for the Kick Drum is to create a second region so that we have two keys to trigger (like a double kick setup).
