Specifying The Pad Sensitivity - Roland OCTAPAD SPD-20 PRO Manuel Du Propriétaire

Specifying the Pad Sensitivity

Here's how to specify the sensitivity of each pad.
1. Press the [SYSTEM] button.
2. Use the [K][J] buttons to select "PAD SETTING," and then press the [ENTER] button.
3. Strike a pad to select the pad that you want to edit.
You can also select a pad by holding down the [ENTER] button and using the [K][J] buttons.
4. Use the [K][J] buttons to select the item that you want to edit.
5. Use the [–][+] buttons to select the value.

Explanation
You can adjust the balance (sensitivity) between pad striking strength and volume.
Higher sensitivity allows the pad to produce a loud volume even when played softly. Lower sensitivity
will keep the pad producing a low volume even when played forcefully.
Minimum sensitivity of the pad
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.
Check this and adjust accordingly. Repeat this process until you get
the perfect setting for your playing style.

The standard setting. This produces the most
natural correspondence between playing dynamics
and volume change.
Compared to LINEAR, strong dynamics produce a
greater change.
Compared to LINEAR, a soft playing produces a
greater change.
Extreme changes are made in response to playing
dynamics.
Very little dynamic response, making it easy to
maintain strong volume levels.
