� Sen - Sensitivity

Sensitivity adjusts the touch sensitivity of the pads in a range between 01 – 08. With this function you can take influence on the reaction of the pad, when you produce intended or unin-tended doublebeats (double trigger). The higher the value, the more precise the pad reacts. If you want to play fast strokes for example, you should adjust a higher sensitivity value. Edit the value with +/--buttons. Press ENTER to confirm (or BACK to cancel).

� Thr - Threshold

Threshold allows a trigger signal to be received only when the force struck on the pad is above a determined force level (velocity). Therefore the pad doesn‘t produce sound when the pad is struck lightly and a high value is adjusted. The range is between 000 – 050 and can be edited by pressing +/-. Press ENTER to confirm (or BACK to cancel).

Normal Easy Dynamic

� CUr - Velocity Curve

The Velocity Curve (CUr) adjusts the dynamic range of the pads.

nor (normal) – Is defined as a curve in which the level of the sound develops linear to the force of attack. The harder the attack, the louder the sound.

ESY (easy) – Is defined as a curve which makes it easier to play loudly. The curve generates higher velocities for less force.

dyn (dynamic) – Is defined as a curve which makes it easy to play quietly. The curve generates lower velocities for hard force.

fId (fixed) – Means that regardless of how hard you play, the pad will transmit always the same level of velocity.


� TAL - Crosstalk

When hitting a pad very strong the vibration of the rack or other influences may cause another pad to sound unwantedly. This phenomenon can be eliminated by using a higher value from the range 000 to 050 (choose with +/-).

� CoP - Copy

With this function you can copy the settings Sen, THr, Cur, TAL from the currently chosen pad to another one, in order to use the same settings here.


Sensitivity adjusts the touch sensitivity of the pads in a range between 01 – 08. With this function you can influ-ence the reaction of the pad, when you produce intended or unintended double beats (double trigger). The higher the value, the more precise the pad reacts. If you want to play fast strokes for example, you should adjust a higher sensi-tivity value. Edit the value with +/- buttons. Press ENTER to confirm (or BACK to cancel). fId (fixed)– Means that regardless of how hard you play, the

pad will always transmit the same level of velocity.

When hitting a pad very hard the vibration of the rack or other influences may cause another unwanted pad to sound. This phenomenon can be eliminated by using a higher value from the range 000 to 050 (choose with +/-).
