Trigger setting interface

The trigger setting interface allows you to adjust settings such as sensitivity, threshold, curve and dynamic 
range. Please note, there are two pages of adjustable settings, which can be accessed using F1-F3. 

Use the navigation or +/- buttons to select the next trigger or adjust the parameter.

The following parameters can be adjusted:

Parameter

Value

Description

Sensitivity

0-31

Set the sensitivity of the pads/triggers for the optimum playing feel

Threshold

0-31

Only activate the trigger when a minimum value has been reached 

Curve

Linear

Linear curve, where the strength at which the trigger is struck 
determines the volume of sample

EXP1 / 
EXP2

Exponential curve (where EXP2 gives the most extreme curve) where 
a harder trigger strike has a more extreme effect on the volume of the 
sample.

LOG1 / 
LOG2

Logarithmic curves (where LOG2 is the more extreme curve), where a 
lighter trigger strike has more effect on the volume of the sample. 

SPLINE

Large volume difference between soft and hard trigger strikes. 

LOUD1 / 
LOUD2

Get a powerful volume when the trigger is struck lightly.

Dynamic Range 

0-9

This controls the dynamic range of the trigger. The lower the value, the
less dynamic the reaction of the trigger. The higher the value, the more
dynamic the reaction of the trigger. You can experiment with your 
playing dynamics by setting the Dynamic Range to a higher value.
