PAD VELOCITY CURVE – Page 5
A PAD VELOCITY CURVE describes how the pads on the MPD26 are
outputting MIDI velocities, based on a certain ratio of the input / output
velocity that characterizes the particular curve. The Pad Velocity Curve
feature is intended to help you optimize the pads on the MPD26 for
your particular playing style and can add expressivity and control to
your performance. If you find it difficult to achieve a comfortable
velocity range for your playing style (you cannot get a velocity of 127
even if you hit the pad very hard, or vice versa, you get velocity 127
easily even if you hit the pad softly) you can adjust the velocity curve as
desired.

PAD THRESHOLD – Page 6
PAD THRESHOLD is the minimum force required to activate the pads.
If you experience “ghost” triggering due to stage vibrations, you may
wish to set this threshold higher. On the other hand, if you find it
difficult to trigger sounds when playing the pads lightly, you may wish to
set this value to a lower number.

MIDI CLOCK – Page 7
MIDI CLOCK is used to synchronize devices together. In addition,
MIDI Clock on the MPD26 is used to synchronize the Note Repeat
feature. The MPD26 can be a master or slave for MIDI Clock
transmission and reception.
