Kontrol S MK3 keyboards velocity randomizer feature setting for built in Note Repeat not available?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi, I am looking in the Kontrol S MK3 keyboards manual and I see that velocity randomizer/humanizer feature settings for notes repeated by the built in Play Assist/Note Repeat is not available. This is really a basic feature and should be included for repeated notes that are automatically repeated by Note Repeat to not sound totally robotic. Will this feature be added or not? Thanks! Best Regards, Danijel

@mraak47 I've forwarded this as a feature request and waiting for some feedback. In the meantime if you're trying to get some more lively repeats you can have very lively results with the polyphonic aftertouch of the keyboard. When in Arp or Note Repeat mode, the pressure on the key will translate to velocity.

Yes, it's not a replacement, but it is a good suggestion to use Aftertouch for now.

FWIW on the keyboard, you can customize the following settings for Aftertouch: Curve, Sensitivity, Threshold and Delay. So you have quite significant control and could likely get it dialed in well.

Hi Jeremy! Thanks a lot for forwarding this as a feature request. If and as soon as velocity randomizer gets added to Note Repeat, I will buy Kontrol S MK3 keyboard. The thing is that with aftertouch it's very hard to mimic a good velocity randomizer effect, especially while playing faster melodic parts or chords. Please let me know if you receive any feedback from the team. Thanks! Best Regards, Danijel
