Pad (THRE)
The graph in the right side of the screen is a “velocity
monitor” that shows the force (velocity) of your strike.

Adjusting the Pad’s Minimum
Sensitivity (Threshold)
This setting allows a trigger signal to be received
only when the pad is above a determined force level
(velocity). This can be used to prevent a pad from
sounding because of vibrations from other pads.
In the following example, B will sound but A and C will
not sound.
Threshold
Value Explanation
0–31
When set to a higher value, no sound is
produced when the pad is struck lightly.
Gradually raise the “Threshold” value while
striking the pad.
Check this and adjust accordingly. Repeat this
process until you get the perfect setting for
your playing style.
Specifying How Volume Responds to
Velocity (Curve)
Adjust this curve until the response feels as natural as
possible.
Value Explanation
LINEAR
The standard setting. This produces the most
natural correspondence between playing
dynamics and volume change.

EXP1, EXP2
Compared to LINEAR, strong dynamics

LOUD1,

Very little dynamic response, making it easy to
maintain strong volume levels. If you’re using a
drum trigger as an external pad, these settings
will produce reliable triggering.
