Range: 1–10
This needs to be adjusted, if for example, the D Beam
switch is on, you are not playing the instrument, but you
notice the Value Meter is moving or NOT in the zero
position.
Bring the sensitivity down until it stops moving.
If the response is not as you wish, raise the sensitivity.
4. Press the [ ] again, and you'll see:
This needs to be adjusted if you feel there is not a good
linear, or smooth response when pitch bending, or
controlling effects. Raise and lower your hand over the D
Beam, and watch the Value Meter.
If the meter moves suddenly at any point, change the
Curve Type.

Position (M1 & M5 pads only)
* Adjusting this parameter will affect the way the M1 and
M5 pads respond depending where you play them,
provided the sound assigned is positional sensing
capable. (see inst list on p. 34) A good way to understand
how this function works, is to use the pre-set CONGA kit.
Play the M1 or M5 pads, moving from the center to the
edge, while at the same time, changing the Position value.
To be more specific, if you set this to +3 you will notice
that the "edge" sound will be very easy to produce, even
when playing in the middle of the pad. Adjust according
to your playing style.
