Native Instruments Maschine Reference Manual

MASCHINE 1.5 Reference Manual – 44
2.4.5 Preferences – Hardware Tab
The Preferences – Hardware Tab
The Hardware Tab enables you to customize how the Pads react to your playing, and the
brightness/contrast of the Displays.
Pads
SEnSItIvIty SlIdEr
Use the SEnSItIvIty SlIdEr to adjust how sensitive the Pads
respond to your touch. This sets the minimum threshold at
which MASCHINE will register a “hit.”
vEloCIty SCalInG
vEloCIty SCalInG determines how your playing is translated into
velocity values: starting from Soft 3 (a soft touch is enough to
get a big velocity value) through Linear to Hard 3 (you really
have to hit the Pad hard to get a big velocity value).
Display
BrIGhtnESS
The Brightness Slider allows you to adjust the brightness of
both Left and Right Displays of the MASCHINE Controller.
ContraSt lEFt & rIGht
With these sliders you can adjust the contrast of the Left
and Right Displays separately.
