PAD SENSITIVITY - Page 4
Adjust Pad Sensitivity
in this field
PAD SENSITIVITY allows you to adjust how sensitive the pads
will be to the touch. Adjust this setting if you find it hard to
achieve maximum velocity when you hit the pads hard, or if you
are getting high velocities when you hit softly.
If the Pad Sensitivity number is set to low number, it’s harder to
get a high velocity value even if you hit a pad hard. If the Pad
sensitivity number is set to high number, it may become too easy
to get high velocities even when you hit a pad softly.
1. While in GLOBAL MODE, use [ > ] button to scroll to
PadSens.
2. Turn [VALUE] dial to change Pad Sensitivity number.
3. Press [ENTER] to select desired senisitivity.
