Hello,
I’ve searched through the forums and see that a mouse click in the DRUMS interface will send velocity 127 and that there is no way to adjust this. That is too high and, frankly, quite a shock for first time users working in an audio environment set for normal mixing/listening levels. My thrill over the wonderful sounds in the Decades pack was almost completely erased the first time I ripped my headphones off my head in anger at how loud a cymbal crash was… and then again when I naturally clicked the interface a little while later, only to rip the headphones off one more time.
I really like the sound of the drums at the velocities my drum kit sends “out of the box.” Allow me a way to match those velocities in preview.
The preview pad is recommended in some posts. That is a stopgap, not a viable long-term solution. It doesn’t work well with a quick workflow.
For the sake of everyone’s ears, please provide a way to change the velocity the mouse click sends.
Thanks!

I too would like this option.
Previewing at 127 does not give you an accurate impression of what a drum or cymbal would sound like in a normal work flow.

You can open the preview pad which you can click from the bottom to top getting different velocities. The pad will stay on screen and work for the pad you have selected. Check the menus at the top. Sorry I can’t tell you exactly as I’m away for a bit and don’t have my DAW pc with me.

The problem is that you still have to select which drum you want to preview first, which then triggers it at 127. Ouch!
When you right click a drum, it doesn’t play, but then you have to click out of the context menu first.
Sometimes all you want to do is quickly click a few drums on your screen to hear how they sound together.
The preview pad is definitely useful, but not in this particular scenario.
It should be trivial to add a global preference for the interface volume.

A year and a half later with no solution 🙁
How can this not be a problem for practically everyone?!

Thanked by: Andreas Dahle AagårdNot a solution: It is terrible behavior and I still am scared to click the drums with headphones on.
Why updates should take that long? I’m still waiting to be able to name midi regions the way I’d like.
No but it’s not actually a bug. Feature requests on any program can take years to be implemented if at all. It would be a nice to have but I actually prefer to get full velocity as I know what the sound will be like. Something you can’t tell on lower velocities.

Actually I’m annoyed by the fact that mouse clicks on the UI drums are not exactly 127 velocity but some value slightly below 127. You can check this if you disable randomize hits and adjacent layers for a drum, then click on it, then click the preview pad on max velocity, at the top. You will notice that the sample played back is not the same. I understand that this is intended as 127 would probably be too much to preview for most drums and cymbals when clicking on them.
But yeah, it would be nice to have an option to set the mouse click velocity.
Also ability to have multiple preview pads on screen would be useful.
