These settings are made for each pad.
Parameter Explanation
Adjusting the sensitivity etc. for each pad
You can adjust the sensitivity of the pads to accommodate your personal playing style.
This allows you to have more dynamic control over the sound volume, based on how hard you play.
Sensitivity Higher sensitivity allows the pad to produce a loud volume even when played softly.
Lower sensitivity will keep the pad producing a low volume even when played forcefully.
The default value is "4. "
With higher values, no sound will be produced by soft strikes. With lower values, even soft strikes will produce sound.
Threshold
The default value is "2. "
This setting allows you to control the relation between playing velocity (striking force) and changes in volume.

Strength at which
you strike the pad
The standard setting. This produces the most natural
correspondence between playing dynamics and volume
change.
Compared to LINEAR, strong dynamics produce a greater
change.
Compared to LINEAR, a soft playing produces a greater
change.
Extreme changes are made in response to playing
dynamics.
Very little dynamic response, making it easy to maintain
strong volume levels.
