Parameter Value Explanation
Knob Mode
DIRECT,
CATCH

data of the corresponding position is
always output.
CATCH: Control data is output after the
knob passes through the current value of
the parameter.
Pad Curve Type
LINER,
EXP,
LOG,
FIX10-127
Species how the volume changes in
response to the force of your strike on the
pad.
LINER: This is the normal setting. This
allows the most natural-feeling relation
between strike strength and volume
change.
EXP: Compared to LINEAR, this produces
greater volume change for stronger strikes.
LOG: Compared to LINEAR, this produces
greater volume change for softer strikes.
FIX10-127: Enters a specied xed value.
Pad Threshold 0–15
Species the pad’s minimum sensitivity so
that a trigger signal is read only if the pad is
struck more strongly than a specied level.
This can be used to prevent the pads from
picking up vibration from the environment.
Pad Trigger
Sensitivity
10–200
Adjusts the sensitivity of the pads to
repeated strikes.
With lower values, the pads will accept
repeated strikes at a shorter time
interval. Increase this value if you don’t
want repeated strikes to be accepted
inadvertently.
USB Mix Select
Pre T-FX,
Post T-FX
Species whether sound that is input via
the USB-connected MIX OUT port is input
before or after TOTAL FX.
