Hi, fellas

Hope u guys are doing great

I just bought an Mpc Live (Have been using Maschine mk2 for years) and I feel surprisingly hard to hit the pads. I just adjust the pad threshold to 3 and sensitivity to 16 and even with that configuration I just can't make it sound properly. I'm trying to Fingerdrum a little bit but I think that unit is defective.

P. S: pad curve is set on A type so I don't know what more I can do.

Please help!

Blessings

Yeah dude, I recently got one too and feel that the pad sensitivity is really disappointing! I've seen numerous fix videos online of people cracking them open and padding them out a bit with rubber strips to increase the sensitivity.. I've seen old videos on some old models, meaning this has been an issue for a while.. which begs the question: "why do they not address this issue in manufacture?" I'm thinking of doing it, but I'm assuming that it would void the warranty?
