11.4.1.1 PAD MONITOR
Monitors all registered signals of the Input Channels by return-
ing the stroke velocity in the standard MIDI range of 1 to 127. A
time series of the last 10 strokes is displayed in the viewport.
Detected head strokes and rim strokes are distinguished by the
color of the bars and depend on the UI Theme chosen. See
the color table in the previous section for reference. The actual
velocity value of a stroke is shown at the bottom of each peak
and visualized by the height of the bar.
The pad monitor is useful for detecting whether a pad is maxing out at moderate strokes already, or
a pad is causing barely audible double triggering.
To sum it up, the pad monitor gives valuable real-time feedback about the communication be-
tween the G9 and its connected pads.
11.4.1.2 X-TALK MONITOR
The Crosstalk Monitor detects every signal of each pad sent to the G9 while playing. Its main pur-
pose is to observe trigger signals sent by pad components you haven´t hit at all. Often vibrations
travel through the hardware and cause accidental activation of other sensors (X-Talk). Striking a
certain component should only activate the sensor responsible for that very component. Check
your hardware set up, if you activate more channels or components, than those you are playing. As
opposed to the Pad Monitor, the X-Talk Monitor gives feedback about the last stroke only.
Apart from peak meters for components, the X-Talk Monitor tracks the highest peak of an input
channel while playing, represented by a fine bar between pad name (input channel) and peak
meters. Examine your trigger settings in case of these bars lighting up in peak colors although you
are playing moderately. Maximum peaks are visible for about 5 seconds after the last detected
input signal. After this period, the X-Talk Monitor clears all values, resulting in a blank monitor screen.
