The Velocity & Dynamics feature in the grid editor of

Tag along with me as I respond to a viewer's question in regards to the difference between the velocity slider AND dynamics slider, as well as the randomize feature in the grid editor of #EZDrummer3 and what it means for YOU in the creation of your songs. Lets GO!

More importantly to understand, with all midi, for that matter, is the velocity level will control the "tone" of the sample spewed forth, like velocity does on any instrument played where velocity can affect tone. Dynamics is changing the "volume level" of the tones produced by the velocities chosen. Many just adjust velocity to get volume differences, but it IS affecting sample tones. So an example is.. a snare has a certain tone at max 127 velocity that you don't like because of snare ringing perhaps, so you have to bring it down to say 118 to get the sample tone or hit tone you prefer, BUT now you use Dynamics to bring the volume back up to what the 127 velocity hit would have been, or any preferred volume level with that chosen sample levels tone.

Do you know if the velocity slider can be assigned to an external expression pedal ??
