Press [MODE] + [Pad 10] (Other), then [F4] (PAD).

Hit a Pad to access its sensitivity setting displayed in the

top eld above the pad number.

Turn the DATA wheel to adjust the Pad sensitivity

between 2-25.

Hit the selected Pad, to check if you like its sensitivity

setting.

Repeat steps 2-4 for the other Pads until you nd a

satisfying setup. Done

With the improved Pad Sensitivity Editor, you can

now set the sensitivity level of all 16 pads individually,

which gives you even more freedom to perfectly

adjust the machine for your needs. is might be very

useful for live performances for example. To adjust

the Pad Sensitivity, do the following:

IMPORTANT:

ose users who have a newer MPC Model (MPC1000

BK-N) or the new pad x from AKAI need to adjust

the pad sensitivity to a higher level than usual (around

20) to achieve good results.

NOTES:

• If you want to change the pad sensitivity for all pads

at once, press [ALL] (F6) and turn the DATA wheel.

• To reset the pad sensitivity to default settings, press

[RESET] (F5).

• e behavior of a Pad while hitting it also depends

on the selected velocity curve (A-D). Curve A is

relatively linear, while B, C, and D are more and more

exponential, meaning you have to hit the pad even

harder to reach the full volocity of 127. (See p. 101 of

the AKAI Manual for more details!) Press the right

arrow button to enter the 'CURVE' eld and select your

preferred velocity curve.

• 'Pad on Level' is a threshold setting to further adjust

the Pad sensivity. If you set it low, the pad will react

even with weak pressure, but there's a risk that it

works also with a little shaking or the pad never stops

responding.
