dude I think you should clean your pads and sensors, it worked for dude.

if you want easier velocity response, it is better to ge to the envelope page (sounds 2 ) and adjust the velocity to volume, that will make it how you want it.

for the silmut go to sounds 1 and mode.

what do i clean the pads with? Compressed air duster? And do I need to be aware of any specific wires when removing the face plate? Dude had mentioned that he dislocated the screen wire to the board and ended up having to solder it back on. Thanks.

yeah, you gotta be careful, I clean the pads with water and then let them dry, the pads with a very small amount of alcohol then wipe them dry fast, a lint free cloth works.

yes, you did el (a few weeks ago), but man, i was scared to mess around in there, good thing all i screwed up was one wire that was a breeze to solder back on. thanks el!

my pads are very very sensitive right now so i know it's not that and they normally don't misfire or alternate triggering of other pads. It's really just the sensitivity output setting. I wanted to be able to max out the range of velocity from soft to full level and you showed me that....but still....i will surely consider one day cleaning those pads of mine.
