Optimizing the pad settings (Trigger parameters)
When you specify the trigger type (p. 46), the
following settings (basic trigger parameters)
are automatically set to the values
appropriate for each pad, meaning that you
will normally not need to adjust them. If you
wish to make detailed adjustments, you can
edit the following parameters.
Setting the Pad Sensitivity [F2] (BASIC)The velocity monitor at the right of
the screen indicates the velocity of
the last twelve hits, starting with the
most recent.
Parameter Value Description
Trig Type
refer to p. 46
Sensitivity
1–32
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.
Threshold
0–31
This setting allows a trigger signal to be received only when the pad is above a determined dynamic
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.
When set to a higher value, no sound is produced
when the pad is struck lightly.
Gradually raise the “Threshold” value while striking
the pad.
Check this and adjust accordingly. Repeat this pro-
cess until you get the perfect setting for your playing
style.
Curve
See below This setting allows you to control the relation between playing velocity (striking force) and chang-
es in volume. Adjust this curve until the response feels as natural as possible.
Threshold
CBA
LINEAR
The standard setting. This produces the most natural
correspondence between playing dynamics and vol-
ume change.
EXP1, EXP2
Compared to LINEAR, strong dynamics produce a
greater change.
LOG1, LOG2
Compared to LINEAR, a soft playing produces a great-
er change.
SPLINE
Extreme changes are made in response to playing dy-
namics.
LOUD1, LOUD2
Very little dynamic response, making it easy to main-
tain strong volume levels. If using drum triggers, these
settings help maintain stable levels.
