• Improved Pad Sensitivity Editor<br />
With the improved Pad Sensitivity Editor, you can<br />
now set the sensitivity level of all 16 pads individually,<br />
which gives you even more freedom to perfectly<br />
adjust the machine for your needs. This might be very<br />
useful for live performances for example. To adjust<br />
the Pad Sensitivity, do the following:<br />
PAD Sensitivity Level<br />
PAD Velocity/Peak<br />
PAD Pressure Level<br />
01.<br />
Press [MODE] + [Pad 10] (Other), then [F4] (PAD).<br />
PAD #<br />
Sensitivity Curve<br />
Threshold<br />
02.<br />
Hit a Pad to access its sensitivity setting displayed in the<br />
top field above the pad number.<br />
F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6<br />
03.<br />
Turn the DATA wheel to adjust the Pad sensitivity<br />
between 2-25.<br />
04.<br />
Hit the selected Pad, to check if you like its sensitivity<br />
setting.<br />

Repeat steps 2-4 for the other Pads until you find a<br />
satisfying setup. Done<br />
IMPORTANT:<br />
Those users who have a newer MPC Model (MPC1000<br />
BK-N) or the new pad fix from AKAI need to adjust<br />
the pad sensitivity to a higher level than usual (around<br />
20) to achieve good results.<br />
NOTES:<br />
• If you want to change the pad sensitivity for all pads<br />
at once, press [ALL] (F6) <strong>and</strong> turn the DATA wheel.<br />
• To reset the pad sensitivity to default settings, press<br />
[RESET] (F5).<br />
• The behavior of a Pad while hitting it also depends<br />
on the selected velocity curve (A-D). Curve A is<br />
relatively linear, while B, C, <strong>and</strong> D are more <strong>and</strong> more<br />
exponential, meaning you have to hit the pad even<br />
harder to reach the full volocity of 127. (See p. 101 of<br />
the AKAI Manual for more details!) Press the right<br />
arrow button to enter the 'CURVE' field <strong>and</strong> select your<br />
preferred velocity curve.<br />
• 'Pad on Level' is a threshold setting to further adjust<br />
the Pad sensivity. If you set it low, the pad will react<br />
even with weak pressure, but there's a risk that it<br />
works also with a little shaking or the pad never stops<br />
responding.<br />
