Relationship of global velocity settings to rhythm velocity

[synthdad]

There are a number of ways to control velocity, but the key is setting the one you want with the Accent knob.

The Accent chooses which velocity to use for the notes in the Pattern.
The choices for Accent are:
Rhythm Velocity (built into the Rhythm)
Humanized Velocity (built-in Rhythm velocity +random variation)
Motif Velocity (fixed velocity set in settings menu 2), and 7 assorted velocity patterns that replace the Rhythm or Motif velocity.

Ah that makes sense now - thanks Daryl!
