Digitakt Midi Velocity to external synth

Been using the Digi for about a year now, and sending some midi data to two external synths. Even when I turn the Velocity down all the way on an individual track, i’m still getting midi notes from my synths! I double checked the individual triggers, and even when they are turned all the way down, it’s still triggering sound. Any idea of how to start troubleshooting this issue?
