In the meantime I’ll use Grid Rec Mode. I’m not really sure what the Vel does in the Retrig menu. I was hoping it would do swells but it seems to just change the velocity of all the Retrigs. I don’t know what makes this any different from setting the velocity in the Note screen.

It does do swells.
The thing to bare in mind is that the pads respond to velocity & pressure so if you’re hitting the pad too hard (or too soft), depending on the settings and the desired results, you may not hear the effect. Use a combination of the VEL.CUR and the VEL settings to program swells and falls…
For a swell…
Set RETRIG to the desired rate.
Use LENGTH to specify the length of the swell
Set VEL.CUR to +127
Set the VEL setting in the Trig Menu to 1
NOW - Press the relevant Trig button OR press Function + Pad to trigger the swell exactly as programmed! (Function + Pad triggers the pad at the velocity specified in Trig Menu (VEL), regardless of how hard you hit it)
The VEL.CUR setting is bipolar, so for falls, invert both the VEL.CUR setting (-127) and the VEL setting (127), for the most pronounced effect.
…to add to this, the VEL setting in the Trig Menu only comes into play when placing trigs on the sequencer, hitting pads in combination with the function button or hitting the trig buttons when not in record mode.
When playing the pads without using the function button, the velocity at which you hit the pad overrides the VEL setting (so to speak). So for swells…you have to hit the pad soft enough to trigger the sound and then hold it to hear the swell complete.
Tip - If you press & hold the Retrig button, followed by pressing & holding the Function button, you can use the pads to audition the settings as you change them, just like using the trig buttons.
