This is compressed beyond belief and on top of that, EQ'd to play into the ear's response to mids. There's no sense of percussive life to it, very little real bass, and it's just ridiculously loud no matter what actual level you listen to it.

Even straight up compressed minimal techno has more ...

But how does one route note velocity to any given control/parameter on a following effect device?

Like let's say I wanted to map note velocity->resonator frequency so that when I'm laying out notes, or beats, the sound will be implicitly tied to velocity. Or if playing in manually, velocity will ...

Not really seeing what the big deal is here. It's just standard beat repeat/fast chop/reduct/downsample stuff.

i.e. Autechre was doing it in like 1997. Surely you can learn to duplicate it.

I agree that this would be a great feature. It would simplify the per-drum-slot effect routing that basically everyone *wants* without having to create a bunch of audio tracks.

Here is my workaround:

1. Chain 1: Your basic impulse setup.
2. Chain 2: A copy of your basic impulse setup + effect.
