Setting up Kong to always play samples at 100% velocity

Hey guys, haven't been in here in a looong time, hope you're all good.

I have a Kong related question.

I've just bought an Akai MPD218 and set it up with Kong to play samples, but I haven't figured out how to set the NN-Nano Sampler to always play at full velocity, like you can on an MPC. I've checked through the Kong section in the manual and searched around a bit online, but so far no luck.

Hi, long time no see! :)

I'm not sure if this is what you meant, but if you want every hit to be equal in the velocity, you should turn the level knob to 0%.

What do you mean by that? When setting the level to 0, I don't get any sound at all, unsurprisingly.

Hi mate, I'm not sure you turned the right knob around, but in the picture, if you put THAT very same velocity knob to zero, that is marked with the red rounding, then all the samples hit it equally in the every time then.
