Pad pressure can be a great dynamic performance element for sustaining sounds such as press a pad to slightly bend pitch on a percussion sound, as you can do on a Djembe.Įach pad is illuminated by an RGB LED, providing a total of 16 distinct colors. Pad pressure is assignable to Aftertouch (channel and poly), Pitch Bend or MIDI CCs. Fixed and step options are also included if you prefer a more rigid response.

Other curve options include a Dynamic response where the velocity value is set at a medium point with the rest of the curve adjusted accordingly. Additionally, a Bias parameter lets you adjust the overall velocity curve response from linear to logarithmic or exponential. Pad sensitivity can be adjusted on a per-pad-basis to ensure a nice even response across all pads.
