 Adjust Pad Sensitivity  

       in this field       

 

 

 
 

 
 

 

PAD SENSITIVITY allows you to adjust how sensitive the pads 
will be to the touch.  Adjust this setting if you find it hard to 
achieve maximum velocity when you hit the pads hard, or if you 
are getting high velocities when you hit softly.   
 
If the Pad Sensitivity number is set to low number, it’s harder to 
get a high velocity value even if you hit a pad hard.  If the Pad 
sensitivity number is set to high number, it may become too easy 
to get high velocities even when you hit a pad softly.

While in GLOBAL MODE, use [ > ] button to scroll to 
PadSens. 

 
2. 

Turn [VALUE] dial to change Pad Sensitivity number.
