Setting

Description

Pads

SENSITIVITY

Adjusts how sensitive the pads respond to your touch. This sets the

minimum threshold at which a “hit” is registered.

SCALING

Determines how your playing is translated into velocity values: starting

from Soft 3 (a soft touch is enough to get a big velocity value) through

Linear to Hard 3 (you really have to hit the pad hard to get a big velocity

value).

LEDs

BRIGHTNESS

Adjusts the brightness of the pads and buttons.

Touchstrip

SHOW POSITION

Shows the playhead position within a Pattern or song:

Off

: The Touchstrip never displays the playhead position.

Rec. Only

: The Touchstrip displays the playhead position only when

you are recording.

On

: The Touchstrip displays the playhead position during playback and

recording.

Display

BRIGHTNESS

Adjusts the brightness of both displays.

Outputs

MAIN

Routes the Line Out L/R to the Phones output. This allows you to listen

to the same audio output channel via the line output and headphone

output simultaneously, for example, use this if you want to listen to the

main out via speakers and listen to the main out via headphones.

Touch-Sensitive

Knobs

AUTO-WRITE

Activates / deactivates the Touch Auto-write option. Touch Auto-write

can be very useful if you want to re-record modulation for a parameter at

a constant value. With Touch Auto-write enabled, you only need to keep a

finger on a parameter Knob (1–8): The current modulation value is

recorded as long as you touch the Knob, automatically replacing any old

modulation events at the position in the Pattern.
