NOTE
• User Triggers (U01–U50) can be saved in the root directory of a USB flash drive. See the section on [MENU]→File for details.
• The edited state of the currently selected Trigger is maintained when the power is turned off, even if it has not been saved as a User Trigger. See this page for details about which items have their settings maintained even when the power is turned off.
MIDI related settings
This detailed explanation corresponds with Step 2 of the “Basic procedure.”
You can configure settings related to MIDI messages that are transmitted or received when a Pad is operated. Default values are unique to each Trigger.
Item (Display) | Description | Setting Range |
MIDICh | Abbreviation for "MIDI Channel." Sets the MIDI channel for MIDI messages that are transmitted or received when the designated Pad is operated. | 1–16 |
Abbreviation for "MIDI Note Number." Sets the MIDI note number for MIDI messages that are transmitted or received when the designated Pad is operated. | 1 (C#-2)–127 (G8) | |
MIDIRcvPad | Abbreviation for "MIDI Receive Pad." Sets whether the designated Pad is considered to have been operated ("On") or not ("Off") when a MIDI message with the MIDI note number and MIDI channel for that Pad is received. | Off, On |
Note On/Aftertouch settings
This detailed explanation corresponds with Step 2 of the “Basic procedure.” Default values are unique to each Trigger.
Item (Display) | Description | Setting Range |
Abbreviation for "A/D Gain." Selects "On" or "Off" for note output of the designated Pad. | 0–127 |
Note On related settings
This detailed explanation corresponds with Step 2 of the “Basic procedure.”
You can configure settings related to Note On messages when a Pad is operated. Default values are unique to each Trigger.

Abbreviation for "Velocity Fixed Value." Sets the MIDI Velocity that is transmitted when the designated Pad is hit. When set to any value from 1 to 127, the selected value is transmitted as the MIDI Velocity of the designated Pad regardless of how hard the Pad is hit. When set to Off, the MIDI Velocity is determined according to how hard the Pad is hit. The relationship between how hard the Pad is hit and the MIDI Velocity will be determined by “VelCurve” (the next item). | Off, 1–127 | |

Abbreviation for "Velocity Minimum." Sets the lower limit of the MIDI Velocity for the designated Pad. No matter how softly the Pad is hit, the MIDI Velocity generated will not drop below this value. | 1–127 | |
Abbreviation for "Velocity Maximum." Sets the upper limit of the MIDI Velocity for the designated Pad. No matter how strongly the Pad is hit, the MIDI Velocity generated will not rise above this value. | 1–127 |
Aftertouch related settings
This detailed explanation corresponds with Step 2 of the “Basic procedure.”
You can configure settings related to Aftertouch when a Pad is operated. Default values are unique to each Trigger.

Abbreviation for "After Touch Fixed Value." Sets the Aftertouch strength for the designated Pad. When set to any value from 1 to 127, the selected value is transmitted as the Aftertouch for the designated Pad regardless of how hard the Pad is pressed further. When set to Off, the Aftertouch is determined according to how hard the Pad is pressed further. The relationship between how hard the Pad is pressed further and the Aftertouch will be determined by “ATCurve” (the next item). | Off, 1–127 | |
Abbreviation for "After Touch Curve." Select an Aftertouch Curve for the designated Pad. | Loud2, Loud1, Normal, Hard1, Hard2, Fix1–5, Spline11–15, Spline21–25, Offset1–5 | |
ATMin | Abbreviation for "After Touch Minimum." Sets the lower limit of the Aftertouch for the designated Pad. No matter how softly the Pad is pressed further, the Aftertouch generated will not drop below this value. | 1–127 |
