3. Use the Cursor Buttons to select a field. Use the Data Dial or –/+ buttons to change the
setting/value.
The Preferences tab shows some of the settings available in the software's Preferences window (in the
Hardware and Other tabs) and other settings not available in the software:
•
Auto Button: Use this field to set the Q-Link Trigger button to cycle through automation states for
just for each Program or globally (Global). Learn about automation for Programs in
Mode > Master Section. Learn more about global automation in
Section.
•
Number of Taps: Use this field to set how many times you have to press your MPC hardware's Tap
Tempo button until the new tempo is recognized.
•
Pad Threshold: Use this field to select a threshold that must be exceeded to trigger the pad.
•
Pad Sensitivity: Use this field menu to set how sensitively your MPC hardware's pads respond to
your touch. At lower values, you need to use more force to generate a high-velocity note. At higher
values, it is easier to generate high-velocity notes, even if you do not use much force while pressing
a pad.
•
Pad Curve: Use this field to set how your playing is translated into velocity values, starting from A to
D. An A pad curve is essentially linear, while the B, C, and D pad curves are exponential. (See the
