PAD SENSITIVITY – Page 4
PAD SENSITIVITY FIELD
PAD SENSITIVITY allows you to adjust how sensitive the pads will be to the touch. Adjust this setting if you find it hard to achieve maximum velocity when you hit the pads hard, or if you are getting high velocities when you hit softly.
If the Pad Sensitivity number is set to low number, it’s harder to get a high velocity value even if you hit a pad hard. If the Pad sensitivity number is set to high number, it may become too easy to get high velocities even when you hit a pad softly.
1.While in Global Mode, use [>] button to scroll to PadSens (page 4).
2.Turn [VALUE] dial to change Pad Sensitivity.
3.Press [ENTER] to set Pad Sensitivity.
PAD VELOCITY CURVE – Page 5
PAD VELOCITY CURVE FIELD
A PAD VELOCITY CURVE describes how the pads on the MPK25 are outputting MIDI velocities, based on a certain ratio of the input / output velocity that characterizes the particular curve. The Pad Velocity Curve feature is intended to help you optimize the pads on the MPK25 to your particular playing style and can add expressivity and control to your performance. If you find it difficult to achieve a comfortable velocity range for your playing style (you cannot get a velocity of 127 even if you hit the pad very hard, or vice versa, you get velocity 127 easily even if you hit the pad softly) you can adjust the velocity curve as desired.
1.While in Global Mode, use [>] button to scroll to PadCurve (page 5).
2.Turn [VALUE] dial to change Pad Sensitivity.
3.Press [ENTER] to set Pad Sensitivity.
