Setting Description
Touch Sensitivity The Touch Sensitivity slider allows you to adjust the touch
sensitivity of Knobs 1–8. Drag the slider left to decrease the
sensitivity or drag the slider to the right to increase it.
The current sensitivity value is indicated by the number left of
the slider. Additionally, this number provides a visual feedback
that helps you quickly find the sensitivity that best fits your
needs.
Touch Auto-write Use the Touch Auto-write checkbox to enable or disable the
Touch Auto-write option.
Touch Auto-write can be very useful if you want to re-record
modulation for a parameter, at a constant value. With Touch
Auto-write enabled, you only need to keep a finger on a
parameter Knob (1–8): The current modulation value is
recorded as long as you touch the Knob, automatically replacing
any old modulation events at the position in the Pattern. For
more information read: ↑2.3.10, Touch Auto-Write Option.
Adjusting the Settings from the Hardware
You also have access to the Sensitivity and Brightness settings from your controller. To do this,
you first have to enter MIDI mode:
1. Press SHIFT + CHANNEL (MIDI) to switch your controller to MIDI mode.
2. Press SHIFT + Button 3 (SETTINGS) to show the Settings Display mode.
▪ Turn Knob 1 (PADSENS) to adjust the Pad Sensitivity described above.
▪ Press SHIFT + Button 4 (CALIBRATION) to show the Calibration Display mode.
▪ Turn Knob 4 to adjust the Brightness described above.
► When you’re done, press SHIFT + CHANNEL (MIDI) again to quit the MIDI mode and get
back to MASCHINE mode.
For more information on the MIDI mode, please refer to the Controller Editor Manual.
