To adjust volume for a single sound (not the whole group):

In sound edit mode: 1. Press sound to enter sound mode 2. Select the pad with the sound you want to adjust 3. Press shift + sound to enter sound edit 4. Find the amplitude/volume parameter 5. Use X or Y knob to adjust volume 6. Exit to save

Sound parameters:

  • AMP (amplitude) — Overall volume of the sound
  • Velocity — How much pad pressure affects volume
  • Pan — Left/right stereo position

Per-pad vs per-group:

  • Sound edit affects one specific pad
  • Group fader affects all pads in that group
  • Mix both for balance

Mixing tips:

  • Keep kicks loud (they drive the track)
  • Hi-hats slightly quieter
  • Bass balanced with kick (not competing)
  • Use your ears, not just eyes on levels

Alternative — use fader automation: 1. Assign fader to volume (in fader settings) 2. Select the group containing your sound 3. Record fader movements for dynamic volume changes

Note: Volume changes in sound edit are saved with the project. They persist across sessions.
