Reducing unwanted triggering of the velocity pads

In some cases, striking a pad may cause a pad you didn't strike to sound as well. This
is because depending on the location or force of your strike, the vibration may also
affect another pad. You can reduce such problems by adjusting the threshold at which
the pads are triggered.
1.

Access the PAD/PANEL screen as described in

Accessing the Pad/Panel
screen

(p. 180).

2.

Press (Pad) to select the PAD screen.

3.

Set the Pad Trigger Threshold parameter.

As you raise this value, the pads will become less responsive to light strikes.

Using aftertouch

You can produce changes in the sound by applying pressure (aftertouch) to a pad.
Here's how to adjust the degree to which aftertouch will affect the sound.
1.

Access the PAD/PANEL screen as described in

Accessing the Pad/Panel
screen

(p. 180).

2.

Press (Pad) to select the PAD screen.

3.

Set the Pad Aftertouch Type parameter to Poly.

You can play the pads with the polyphonic aftertouch

4.

Set the Pad Aftertouch Sens parameter.

As you raise this value, the pads will produce an aftertouch effect even with light
pressure. If you turn this Off, aftertouch will not be used.

Changing the operation of the Shift button

while you hold down the [SHIFT] button. With the factory settings, the Shift function
is active only while you hold down the Shift button, but you can change this so that
Shift remains locked.
1.

Access the PAD/PANEL screen as described in

Accessing the Pad/Panel
screen

(p. 180).

2.

There are two types of
aftertouch; “channel
