PAD SET
TRIGGER
Parameter Value Explanation
Curve Type Sets how the volume changes according to how hard you strike a pad.
Lin This is the standard setting. This produces the most natural balance between playing
dynamics and volume change.
Exp Compared to “Lin,” playing strongly produces a greater change in volume.
Log Compared to “Lin,” playing softly produces a greater change in volume.
Fix Sets the volume at a fixed level of 127.
Threshold 1‒
100 This sets the minimum sensitivity of the pads, at which the trigger signal is received only
when a pad is struck with at least a certain amount of force (velocity). This can be used to
prevent a pad from sounding due to vibrations from other pads.
Gain 0‒
100 The sensitivity is adjusted with the curve as-is. The larger the value, the greater the
sensitivity is when playing the pads.
Trig Span 1‒10 Adjusts the sensitivity of the pads to repeated strikes. With lower values, the pads detect
repeated strikes within a shorter time interval. Set this value higher if you donʼt want the
pad to accidentally detect repeated strikes.
LED
Parameter Value Explanation
LED
Brightness 1‒10 Sets the brightness of the indicators on the buttons and pads. This sets the brightness
when the buttons or pads are highlighted.
LED Glow 1‒10 Sets the brightness of the indicators on the buttons and pads. This sets the brightness
when the buttons or pads are not highlighted.
Pad LED
Mode This selects the color of the pad illumination.
BUS The pads light up in the color set in “BUS COLOR.”
