There's the hackish way, where both samples will always play, but one
can be quiet while the other is loud. You just need to apply the
velocity sensing to the amplitude in the correct way. But note that
there's no threshold value, it's a smooth rampage of amplitudes. Only
at the extremities will one sample be heard and not the other; mid
points will cause both to be heard to varying degrees.

I'm reluctant to state anything definite about the implementation of
such functionality. On the one hand it is a missing feature but on the
other, I'm not sure it would fit. There are a lot of other jobs much
higher in my priorities.

For example, while the capability to route MIDI CC increases
flexibility, the ability to turn things on/off (ie portamento) was
sacrificed, so restoring that kind of functionality is next on the
agenda and will also pave the way I hope for further capabilities in
other areas.

Cheers,
James.
