Is there velocity modulation in Machine Drum?

Hi

Couldn’t find anything in the Machinedrum Manual regarding this.

So I guess, the MD is not have a menu for velocity modulation, Correcto?

Thx!

There’s no velocity at all (not to mention modulation)
There’s vol per track (can be LFO target) and Accent feature

but it (volume) does respond to velocity, no?

Not really
Actually, when you trigger notes through some external MIDI controller then indeed it reacts to velocity (notes play with different volume), however if you live record it on MD then velocity is ignored and all notes are then playbacked with the same default volume.
It’s pretty serious limitation of the sequencer, among others (e.g. lack of chromatic mode)
