If someone still has their finger pressing on a pad, after having already pressed it with the minimum 'pad on' sensitivity, it's significantly more likely that they want the note to stay on.įor example, sometimes I will play a chord with my thumb, pointer and middle fingers and the melody with the ring and pinky. If the issue here is a hardware issue (too much noise at lower pressures), one thing that could help is to make the 'pad off' minimum pressure lower than the 'pad on' minimum. Playing chords and melodies simultaneously is very hard to do because I'm losing notes every time I shift a little to accommodate new ones. So if the right hand is already pressing on four pads, a fifth pad becomes difficult to press without releasing pressure on one of the less advantaged fingers. My arms are having to exert a lot of force with this controller, and my fingers are tired. Since the pressure applied from the arm is divided over fingers, playing one or two pads per hand is doable (although still clunky), but each additional note becomes more and more difficult. Holding my arm stiff, right now I can rest my left hand fingers on five pads and none of them will trigger.
Ideally I'd be able to rest all ten fingers lightly on the pads and get a "consistent" response from each pad, using less than the weight of the hand alone. In the open source firmware, is there a way to adjust with the minimum pressure threshold for triggering pads off and on? The current minimum feels much too high. I've tried playing with the velocity settings but that doesn't solve this. As a keyboard player, I'm having trouble with the minimum sensitivities for triggering pads on and off.
It's awesome that it's so customizable too, and that you've made this firmware available.
