How to adjust Track Volume?

Hey Gang,

Is there a way to control Track Volume?
Not "Velocity" but "Volume".
Not "Program" but "Track".

Thanks, Mike

Track volume only acts as a relative slider for your velocity information in your MIDI data. It‘s not real „volume“, but adjusts velocity data (e.g. by 80% or by 140%).

Exactly right.

This is why you see the midi values 1-127 in Track View.

When dealing with pads you see db values on screen.

Thanks Guys.

Coming from a MPC60, I never thought of Pads as anything other than sample triggers.
I see now that I can't expect things to be totally intuitive.

Nope, not always intuitive, not always what we want them to be, BUT, your thinking, using your grey matter and that’s always a good thing!

Even after decades of making beats I fail many times and certain people here get me back on track.

This shyt here helps!
