- ## Notes
50+
- Manual velocity edits in [[Launchpad/UG/09 Sequencer/06 Velocity/01 Step Velocity]] set every note on the selected step to the same velocity. [[Launchpad/UG/09 Sequencer/06 Velocity/02 Live Record]] can preserve notes with different velocities on the same step.
51+
- [[Microfreak/UG/17 Ext Gear/05 Local Control]] describes Local Off as a way to prevent double triggering when an external sequencer returns keyboard notes to the synth.
