Setting the Pad Sensitivity [F2] (BASIC)
When you specify the pad type (p. 41), the following settings (basic trigger
parameters) are automatically set to the values appropriate for each pad, meaning
that you will normally not need to adjust them. If you wish to make detailed
adjustments, you can edit the following parameters for each pad.
MEMO
The velocity monitor at the left of the screen indicates the velocity.
Parameter Value Description
Pad Type Refer to p. 41.
Sensitivity 1–32
You can adjust the sensitivity of the pads to accommodate your personal playing style.
This allows you to have more dynamic control over the sound volume, based on how hard you play.
Higher sensitivity allows the pad to produce a loud volume even when played softly.
Lower sensitivity will keep the pad producing a low volume even when played forcefully.
Threshold 0–31
This setting allows a trigger signal to be received only when
the pad is above a determined dynamic level (velocity). This
can be used to prevent a pad from sounding because of
vibrations from other pads.
In the example at the right, B will sound but A and C will
not sound.
When set to a higher value, no sound is produced when the
pad is struck lightly.
Gradually raise the “Threshold” value while striking the pad.
Check this and adjust accordingly. Repeat this process until you get the perfect setting for your playing style.
Curve
This setting allows you to control the relation between playing velocity (striking force) and changes in volume. Adjust this
curve until the response feels as natural as possible.
LINEAR
The standard setting. This produces the most natural correspon-
dence between playing dynamics and volume change.

Very little dynamic response, making it easy to maintain strong
volume levels. If you’re using a drum trigger as an external pad,
these settings will produce reliable triggering.
