• Global Sensitivity - Controls the sensitivity of the BopPad. Use this to adjust the response of the
BopPad to fit your playing style and environment. This is very important for eliminating false
triggers. You can reset the sensitivity (to the default 16) with the button below the slider.
• Send Full Volume on Preset Change - will send a full volume message (CC 7, value of 127),
this prevents you getting the volume stuck in a lower position when moving from a preset that
controls volume, to one that doesn’t.
• Multitouch Mode - Allows BopPad to send/respond to additional hits without releasing any
currently active quadrants. This is particularly useful for hand/finger drumming when retriggering
a quadrant while manipulating pressure or radius is desired.
• Crosstalk Cancellation - Reduces the chances of unintended hits being triggered on nearby
sensors/quadrants.
• MIDI Expander Mode - turn MIDI Expander communication on or off.
• Version numbers: The version of the Editor and the Firmware on the connected BopPad will be
displayed in the lower left. There will be an auto update feature for the Editor, as well as new
firmware notifications.
