Using the velocity sampler
In the velocity sampler mode, the sample volume level changes according to the
amount of force used to tap the performance pads. The volume level increases when
the performance pads are tapped strongly and decreases when they are tapped
weakly.
Switching to the velocity sampler mode
When the [SAMPLER] mode button is pressed while pressing the [SHIFT] button, the
mode switches to the velocity sampler mode.
When the [SAMPLER] mode button is pressed, the mode switches to the normal
sampler mode.
!
The velocity curve can be set in the utilities mode.
For details, see Changing the velocity curve setting of velocity sampler mode on
page 25 .
Using the sequencer
Sampler performances can be recorded and played back.
The sequencer function can be used to achieve a variety of performances, such as
superimposing an original rhythm loop or vocal loop created in advance on the track
that is playing or changing the arrangement of an impromptu finger drum perfor-
mance by adding sound using the overdub recording function or removing and
adding sound using the mute function.
The following explains the basic operations of the sequencer. For sequencer
application examples, see the rekordbox software’s manual.
