PAf (Polyphonic Aftertouch)
(from p. 27)
An example of PAf is as follows: Let's say you are using the
ROLL function on all the pads. IF you press lightly on one pad,
and more strongly on another, then their respective sound levels
will be different.
Sens (Sensitivity)
(from p. 27)
Define the sensitivity of the pad or the like to control the
balance between the strike force and the sound volume. As the
value increases, the sensitivity gets higher, which means that a
louder sound is produced with weak strikes.
Threshold
(from p. 27)
Setting the Minimum Levels for the Pads
Allows a trigger signal to be received only above a determined
velocity level. In the following example, B will sound but A and
C will not sound.

A
Curve (Velocity Curve)
(from p. 25, 27)
This setting determines the relation between playing velocity
and changes in volume.

LINEAR
The standard setting, producing the most natural
correspondence between playing dynamics and volume
change.
