To the right of the toggle menu are number boxes for setting
Velocity and Pressure values. By default these boxes are set to
“var” for “Variable Velocity” and “con” for “Continuous Pressure”. In
default mode the sensor will send out a Velocity value related to how
hard the pad was struck, and a continuous CC# value corresponding
to the pressure exerted on the sensor. Setting a numerical value in
the number box will override the default behavior and output just
that value.
The Global Sensitivity dial adjusts the sensitivity of the sensors. The
higher the sensitivity, the easier it is to get pressure and velocity in
the higher value ranges. The lower the sensitivity, the more difcult
(or impossible) it will be to get the pressure and velocity to the higher
value ranges. The Sensitivity dial is global for all controls of that
sensor type. For example, if you adjust the global sensitivity of one
Pad you are adjusting the sensitivity of all Pads, however it will not
affect the sensitivity of the sliders.
pads - advaNCed Tab
There are 4 banks available for the Notes of each Pad. The Bank
Transpose Offset number boxes set a value to transposition each of
the 4 banks.
Note: Changing Pad Banks will not affect the CCs of the other Pad sources (X-axis,
Y-axis, Pressure, etc.)
The Corner Isolation parameter adjusts how sensitive the other
corners of a Pad are when one of the corners is in use. The Corner
Isolation value is global for all Pads, and applies only when the Pad
is in Grid Mode. This is useful in preventing accidental triggers.
The higher the corner isolation value, the greater the isolation is
between corners.
The Pad Sensitivity Adjust parameter overrides the Global
Sensitivity Adjustment of the selected Pad for greater control of
individual Pads. The higher the sensitivity, the easier it is to get
pressure and velocity in the higher value ranges. The lower the
sensitivity, the more difcult (or impossible) it will be to get the
pressure and velocity to the higher value ranges.
The On Thresh sets the pressure value at which a Note On message
is sent. Example: If set to 10, the Pad pressure has to reach a value
of 10 before a note on is sent. This is global for all Pads.
The Off Thresh sets the pressure value at which a Note Off message
is sent. Example: If set to 5, the Pad pressure would have to be 5
or lower for a Note Off to register. This cannot be set higher than the On Threshold. This is global for all
Pads.
