Tempest velocity value

Tempest velocity value

I need help. I am using tempest drum with Cirklon 2 as MIDI 7ch synth 8ch. The synth channel works well with velocity value, but the drum channel does not apply velocity value. Please help.

this is probably what you need
You're experiencing an issue where the Tempest drum machine is not receiving velocity values from the Cirklon 2 on MIDI channel 7, though the synth channel works fine. To troubleshoot, you should check that velocity is enabled on both devices, verify that Cirklon is transmitting velocity on channel 7, use a MIDI monitor to inspect the data, and ensure both devices have updated firmware. Testing with another MIDI device can also help identify whether the problem is with the Cirklon or the Tempest.

Had the same issue with Tempest and Cirklon 2. Turns out, the drum channel ignored velocity because Fixed Velocity Mode was on. Try disabling it and check Cirklon's MIDI settings. Hope this helps!

It's important to understand that the Tempest is a synth; and therefore, each and every sound may or may not respond to velocity, depending on how the VCA and the envelopes are set.  In other words, you must turn down the envelope amount and turn up the velocity amount, to taste, for each envelope, wherever applicable, on a per sound basis.

Cheers!
