Quiet notes make loud ones louder
When every hit is the same strength, a pattern sounds like a machine. Drummers play some hits hard and others barely at all, and the quiet ones are what make the loud ones feel loud.
Soft pads are dimmer. Click a lit pad a second time to soften it.
That is the idea.
Dynamics are free groove: same pads, different strengths.
