Velocity Assignment in Play Modes

In mono mode velocity assignment is straightforward..just tick the 'VL' box to assign velocity CV

to any of CV2-CV4. On the VCS3 you would want to patch this velocity CV to control the either or

both of the output channel levels (last two columns in the matrix). These channels respond

differently to positive and negative CV..so its advisable to assign velocity to CV3 as you then have

the option on the quad unit to not only scale but also invert this CV. You can then experiment to

find interesting velocity 'curves'.

In poly mode 2 its best to again assign velocity to CV3 by clicking the 'VL' box. If you choose CV4

..the problem is this is only available to the synthi via the black pin cable and thus you can only

control the level of output ch1 or output ch2 by inserting the pin but not both at the same time.

Obviously in poly mode 4 you have no options to assign note velocity or any other midi

parameter to CV as all 4 CV channels are taken up with midi notes.

In experimenting with velocity curves on the VCS3 you will also find it useful to adjust the main

output channel level pots as the setting of these also affects the overall velocity respsonse of the

output channels.
