Specifying the Type of Pad

Screen
The "Pad Type" is a collection of settings for various pad-related parameters; it sets these parameters to the appropriate values for each
type of pad.
Simply select the pad type that's appropriate for the pad you've connected. Each parameter will be set to the appropriate value, allowing
you perform optimally.
If the pad does not respond as expected even though you've selected the correct pad type, you can make fine adjustments to each pa-
rameter as appropriate for your pad.
* If you've turned this OFF for a pad, and would like to change that pad's setting to something other than OFF, you'll need to
re-select the pad by turning the [-/+] dial in the MENU screen (p. 27).

Setting the Pad Sensitivity

When you specify the pad type, the following settings are automatically set to the values appropriate for each pad, meaning that you will
normally not need to adjust them. If you wish to make detailed adjustments, you can edit the following parameters.
