The Velocity Map, below the Waveform display, graphically represents playback amplitude of the track audio against the specified Velocity Zones. TL Drum Rehab translates the detected amplitudes to MIDI velocity for sample playback. When the detected amplitude of trigger is in the range of a particular Velocity Zone, the sample loaded into that Zone is played back (triggered).
The Velocity Map displays the current velocity (amplitude) on playback. The Velocity Zones are depicted as colored bars in the Velocity Map. The different colors from left to right (quiet to loud) indicate the velocity range: darker colors represent lower velocity ranges (for example, 1–32) and brighter represent higher velocity ranges (for example, 95–127). Velocity Zones trigger samples within the amplitude range of the Minimum and Maximum Threshold settings (see
TL Drum Rehab Minimum and Maximum Threshold Controls.
Use the Velocity Map to select a Zone for loading a sample (see
Loading a Sample into a Zone) and also to adjust the crossfade between Zones (see
Adjusting the Crossfade Between Zones). Using multiple Velocity Zones lets you layer samples by dynamics for more realistic drum sample playback. Use the left-most Zone for the quietest (
pianissimo) samples, use the right-most for the loudest (
fortissimo). Up to four samples (Clips) can be added to each Zone, to give playback a more human and natural quality. (For more information on using multiple clips per Zone, see
Clips).
