MIDI CLOCK FIELD
PAD THRESHOLD FIELD
PAD THRESHOLD – Page 6
PAD THRESHOLD is the minimum force required to activate the pads.
If you experience “ghost” triggering due to stage vibrations, you may
wish to set this threshold higher. On the other hand, if you find it
difficult to trigger sounds when playing the pads lightly, you may wish to
set this value to a lower number.
1. While in Global Mode, press [>] to scroll to PdThresh (page 6).
2. Turn [VALUE] dial to select value.
3. Press [ENTER] to set Pad Threshold.
MIDI CLOCK – Page 7
MIDI CLOCK is used to synchronize devices together. In addition,
MIDI Clock on the MPD32 is used to synchronize the Note Repeat
feature. The MPD32 can be a master or slave for MIDI Clock
transmission and reception.
1. While in Global Mode, press [>] to scroll to MIDI CLK (page 7).
2. Turn [VALUE] dial to select “Internal” if you would like to generate
MIDI Clock internally or “External” if you would like to slave the
MPD32 to an external MIDI Clock source.
3. Press [ENTER] to set MIDI Clock source.
Note: If “External” has been selected as a MIDI Clock source, the
[TAP TEMPO] button will be disabled.
TAP TEMPO AVERAGE – Page 8
When using [TAP TEMPO] button to set the tempo, the MPD32
averages a number of taps in order to determine the tempo. You can
set the number of taps used to determine the TAP TEMPO AVERAGE
in this field.
1. While in Global Mode, use [>] button to scroll to Tap AVG (page
8).
2. Turn [VALUE] dial to select number of taps.
