Velocity as a macro control:
The velocity dial on the trig page can be used as a macro control for multiple parameters. Velocity to volume should be set to “off” in the track setup menu. Up to four track parameters can then be set up to be controlled by the velocity mod page, e.g. open the filter, increase amp decay, send to delay, and reduce LFO1 depth. This can then be played dynamically with the velocity trig mode, p-locked using the velocity knob on the trig page, or even controlled for multiple tracks using CTRL all.
This works nicely with sample chains that have been set up with multi-sampled drums, for example 16 hihat hits that increase in volume, so that dynamics are still possible by p-locking different slices (or assigning an LFO to the slice number).
