Checking this causes the Wave Display to show on the Main Interface when you play a Pad, via MIDI or by clicking on it.

Enable MIDI Velocity
When unchecked, all MIDI notes coming in will be 127 in value.

Create Folder when Extracting sam[ples from .mv0
If you extract the samples out of a .mv0 file, this wil write a folder with the same name as the .mv0 file and write the samples in there.

Show Velocity Meter
This enables the red Velocity meter, next to the Pds, to respond on strikes. The associated parameters determine how it responds.

Pads Display Tab

Since a Pad can hold up to 4 samples, you may want to split them via velocity, or layer the sounds, or (rarely) a combination of both.

Velocity Split Type
MVKC provides 4 methods of automatically splitting up your samples on Pad:

• Separated Linear: These are big words for a simple concept. This simply splits your samples in equal sizes over the entire velocity range.
• Velocity Curve: Using the slider on the right, you can split your samples in a "curved": way as to favor softer or harder approaches.
• Manual: Input your own custom values.
• None: Everything is layered.

LoVel, HiVel
These either show your velocities, or in the case of Manual, allow you to fill in your own.

Velocity Curve
Enabled when "Use Velocity Curve" is selected under Vel Split Type. Moving the sliders changes the numbers within the LoVel-HiVel boxes.

Audio/MIDI Tab

These are the Sound Driver types on your system. Selecting one shows the Outputs on the list to the right.

Outputs
