Using the RMP-5 with Additional Pads

While simultaneously holding down the [METRONOME] and [COACH] buttons, turn on the power.
Afterwards, press the [COACH] button to select the parameter, then press the [+] or [-] button to set the value.
* Press the [METRONOME] button to have selections come up in the reverse order.

Sensitivity

This adjustment determines the pad’s response. Higher values means
higher sensitivity, and the pad will produce a loud sound even when
played softly.

When you strike the pad, your playing velocity is shown in the display.
Set the value so that the needle appears at the far right when you strike
the pad with maximum velocity.

Threshold

This setting allows the trigger signal to be received only if the pad is
played harder than a specified dynamic. This can be used to prevent
the pad from sounding due to extraneous vibrations from another pad.
In the following example, B will sound but A and C will not sound.

fig.05-10_80

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.

Velocity Curve

This determines volume changes corresponding to your playing
velocity.

(Linear)

This is the normal setting and produces the most natural correspondence
between playing dynamics and changes in volume.

(Exponential 1, Exponential 2)

Compared to Linear, a wider volume change will occur for stronger
hits.

fig.05-12_80

(Log 1, Log 2)

Compared to Linear, wider volume change will occur for softer hits.
