of this field. If only one ME-35T is being used, this should be set
to "1".
• UNIT CH: This field selects the midi channel over which the
selected ME-35T (unit 1 or 2) receives its data. This should be
set to the same midi channel as the selected ME35T unit is set to
receive on. Because the ME-35T is set to receive on channel 1
when shipped from the factory, this field would normally be set
also to 1.
• INPUT: This field selects which of the 8 trigger inputs of the
selected unit is currently active for editing. The settings of the 8
fields below refer only to the input number displayed in this
field.
• NOTE: This field selects the note number which will be output
when the displayed input is triggered. The MPC60 drum which
is currently assigned to that note number (in the ASSIGN
INCOMING NOTES TO DRUMS screen) is displayed to the
right of the note number in parentheses.
SENSITIVITY: This is the input sensitivity. Adjust this until only
the hardest strike of the pad causes the overload LED on the
front of the ME-35T to flash on. The range is from 0 to 127.
TRIGGER: This is the trigger threshold. Only notes with
velocity values above this threshold will be sent from the
ME-35T. The range is from 0 to 127.
CAPTURE TIME: This parameter sets the amount of time the
ME-35T uses to determine the note velocity, in milliseconds.
This setting is a compromise between response time and
accuracy of dynamics- the faster the response, the less accurate
the dynamics. The range is from 0 to 31.
RECOVERY TIME: This is the amount of time, in milliseconds,
following a trigger during which further triggers are prevented. It
prevents false double triggering because of bounce of the stick
on the pad. Too long a time will limit the maximum rate of drum
roll. The range is from 0 to 31.
`ON' TIME: This sets the delay between sending the "Note on"
and the subsequent "Note off' command, in increments of
1/100 second. For the MPC60, this should be set to "0". The
range is from 0 to 4095.
CURVE: This parameter selects one of 8 dynamic curves that
relate strike dynamics to midi velocity. Curves 1 through 4
work best with synthesizers using logarithmic
