Specifying the Pad Sensitivity
Here’s how to specify the sensitivity of each pad.
1. Press the [SYSTEM] button.
2. Use the [K][J] buttons to select “PAD SETTING,” and then press the [ENTER] button.
3. Strike a pad to select the pad that you want to edit.
You can also select a pad by holding down the [ENTER] button and using the [K][J] buttons.
4. Use the [K][J] buttons to select the item that you want to edit.
5. Use the [–][+] buttons to select the value.
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.
