"This colorful device is an updated version of the nice little velocity sequencer originally included in LDM Design’s popular Chance 10 pack. reVel expands the idea to include a unique duration based mode and expanded functionality such as individual randomization per step.

With Sequencer mode, you set a fixed sequence of values up to 32 steps long, and each note will take the velocity level of each proceeding step in the sequence.

Using this mode you can add randomization amounts per individual step to create more variation in the output. However, if your sequence of notes in Live’s piano roll, or live incoming midi, varies in the distribution of notes in any section of time, the sequence of velocity values will fall out of step with the notes coming through.

You may want this as a creative way to make differing patterns, yet you may also want a specific flow of velocity values in each section of time. This is where the Function mode comes in!

With the unique function mode, you can set the flow of values over a specific number of beats, and then however many notes come through in each section, it will retain the flow of velocity values over time. Now we can get a specific groove and let the notes flow freely.

In function mode we get a global randomization amount which will define a maximum amount of randomization for any note that comes through."
