PAD VELOCITY CURVE – Page 5

A PAD VELOCITY CURVE describes how the pads on the MPD26 are

outputting MIDI velocities, based on a certain ratio of the input / output

velocity that characterizes the particular curve. The Pad Velocity Curve

feature is intended to help you optimize the pads on the MPD26 for

your particular playing style and can add expressivity and control to

your performance. If you find it difficult to achieve a comfortable

velocity range for your playing style (you cannot get a velocity of 127

even if you hit the pad very hard, or vice versa, you get velocity 127

easily even if you hit the pad softly) you can adjust the velocity curve as

desired.

1. While in Global Mode, press [>] to scroll to PadCurve (page 5).

2. Turn [VALUE] dial to change the Pad Velocity Curve (the 4

curves are shown below).

3. Press [ENTER] to set Pad Velocity Curve.

PAD THRESHOLD – Page 6

PAD THRESHOLD is the minimum force required to activate the pads.

If you experience “ghost” triggering due to stage vibrations, you may

wish to set this threshold higher. On the other hand, if you find it

difficult to trigger sounds when playing the pads lightly, you may wish to

set this value to a lower number.

1. While in Global Mode, press [>] to scroll to PdThresh (page 6).

2. Turn [VALUE] dial to select value.

3. Press [ENTER] to set Pad Threshold.

MIDI CLOCK – Page 7

MIDI CLOCK is used to synchronize devices together. In addition,

MIDI Clock on the MPD26 is used to synchronize the Note Repeat

feature. The MPD26 can be a master or slave for MIDI Clock

transmission and reception.

1. While in Global Mode, press [>] to scroll to MIDI CLK (page 7).

2. Turn [VALUE] dial to select “Internal” if you would like to generate

MIDI Clock internally or “External” if you would like to slave the

MPD26 to an external MIDI Clock source.

3. Press [ENTER] to set MIDI Clock source.

Note: If “External” has been selected as a MIDI Clock source, the

[TAP TEMPO] button will be disabled.
