Parameter Value Explanation
Sens 1.0–32.0
You can adjust the balance (sensitivity) between pad striking strength and volume.
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.
Threshold 0–31
Minimum sensitivity of the pad
This setting allows a trigger signal to be received only when the pad is
above a determined force level (velocity). This can be used to prevent
a pad from sounding because of vibrations from other pads. In the
following example, B will sound but A and C will not sound.
Check this and adjust accordingly. Repeat this process until you get
the perfect setting for your playing style.
