Casio PG-380 - Sensitivity Check Functionality

This adjustment can be used in a
variety of ways. For example,
differences in string gauge or
string height may cause an im-
balance in preset/MIDI sound
characteristics. Or a certain string
or strings may stand out, while
others seem too weak or don’t
sound at the same time. These
problems can be solved by in-
creasing or decreasing trigger
pickup sensitivity.
Your PG guitar features Sensitiv-
ity Check function using the
LED display. The display will
show the trigger pickup sensitivi-
ty of each string in numerals
(“0"—*99"), and also indicates
if the setting is too high (““OL”
= Over Level),
In cases where you are using
sound sources which feature
MIDI Touch Sensitivity when
utilizing the PG guitar as a
MIDI controller, you may need
to decrease trigger pickup sensi-
tivity for best results.
