PAD SETTINGS–SENS
MENU g SYS g Pad Settings g SENS
These settings are made for each pad.
Parameter Explanation
Adjusting the sensitivity etc. for each pad
Sensitivity
You can adjust the sensitivity of the pads to accommodate your personal playing style.
This allows you to have more dynamic control over the sound volume, based on how hard you play.
Higher sensitivity allows the pad to produce a loud volume even when played softly.
Lower sensitivity will keep the pad producing a low volume even when played forcefully.
The default value is “4.”
Threshold
With higher values, no sound will be produced by soft strikes. With lower values, even soft strikes will produce sound.
The default value is “2.”
Curve
This setting allows you to control the relation between playing velocity (striking force) and changes in volume.
LINEAR
Striking
force
Volume
The standard setting. This produces the most natural
correspondence between playing dynamics and volume
change.
EXP1, EXP2
Striking
force
Volume Volume
Compared to LINEAR, strong dynamics produce a greater
change.
LOG1, LOG2
Striking
force
Volume Volume
Compared to LINEAR, a soft playing produces a greater
change.
SPLINE
Striking
force
Volume
Extreme changes are made in response to playing
dynamics.
LOUD1, LOUD2
Striking
force
Volume Volume
Very little dynamic response, making it easy to maintain
strong volume levels.
PAD SETTINGS–PRESS
MENU g SYS g Pad Settings g PRESS
These settings are made for each pad.
Parameter Explanation
Adjusting the pad’s pressure sensitivity
Pressure Sens
Adjusts the sensitivity of the pad to pressure.
With higher values, even slight pressure applied to the pad will produce a signicant response.
The default value is “5.”
Strength at which
you strike the pad
Strength at which
you press the pad
