Multi-sampling/ velocity layering

Can we have multi-sampling/ velocity layering, to create more nuanced sounds/instruments for playing with an external controller with velocity sensitivity ?

    Can you explain that a little deeper?

    Let's say u sample a real piano for example. And u sample the piano when u play really soft, semi-soft, a bit harder, medium, hard and really hard (depending on how many velocity 'levels' u want), because the timbre and sound of the piano is different depending on how hard it is played.

    Then u make those samples trigger in correspondance with the velocities of f.ex. the pads u play on a sampler, so that u can capture the variances in sound and the play-feel better.

    Also, if u sample a low C, a middle C and a higher C from the real acoustic piano, and make it so that the low C is being pitch-shifted (played and turned into different notes) in the lower ranges of the designated keyboard/ pads, the middle C in the middle range and the high C in the upper ranges, then the notes will sound more real :)

    And since there's no velocity sensitivity on the pads themselves on the Deluge, but there's velocity capabilities for either manual editing or with an external MIDI keyboard - we'd need to use a velocity sensitive external controller.

    Yeah, I did some research on that. I can see how that would be great for lots of people.

    Good for drums too. You could do a basic 2 sample version of this if the OSC1 and OSC2 Volume-to-velocity mappings could be seperated

    Yeah word, I noticed that, that'll be a start :)

    You can already do it a bit on kits. I just posted this on the Facebook group:

    Nice little 'velocity mapping' you can do on kits.
    Assign a snare to OSC 1. Assign a different snare to OSC 2.
    Set the volume of OSC1 and OSC 2 to 25.
    Map VELOCITY to the Volume of OSC1 @ -50 and then map it to OSC2 @ +50
    Stick some snares down on a track. Hold the pad and turn the X knob to change velocity. The lower the velocity the more the snare on OSC1 will be heard. The higher the velocity the more you'll hear the snare on OSC2.

    Fully agree but the curve to flip the oscillators volume is still linear. A bit awkward for layering, I think we would need OSC3 or sample 3 and controlling velo/volume curve ... still +1

    +1 for multi-sample velocity kits

    Oh yeah. That would be a game-changer for me. I definitely want that!

    Would be a huge step into the domain of advanced hardware samplers as they are sadly not made anymore today (Emu, Akai, Roland, ..).

    Velocity layered sample packs are becoming the norm for one-shots.. MPC live has them, as well as BM3 and SampleTank 2 (ios)
    ...ST2 has a 1/2 price sale this week on it's pro pack ( I am not affiliated in anyway - just happy that £23 get me 8velocity layered ok recordings of 500+ instruments. whoop whoop)

    Seem that this would be a specialized synth mode, rather than adding more stuff to the substractive synth.
