Trigger Threshold

Maschine’s pads tend to be less sensitive in MIDI mode than when it is used with Maschine Software. To address this, a workaround is included that reinterpets aftertouch MIDI data as MIDI note-on data. This lowers the pad trigger threshold, resulting in significantly improved playability when playing a melodic instrument. This also allows you to re-trigger a pad without letting go of it. I recommend enabling this feature for melodic instruments and disabling it for drums. When this feature is enabled, aftertouch is disabled. See Toggle Pad Sensitivity.

Velocity Curve

Velocity Curve refers to the mapping of applied pressure to output velocity. This can be configured in Controller Editor's "Pad Velocity Curve" setting on the "Templates" tab, which offers 7 different velocity curves. Controller Editor also offers a "Sensitivity" slider in the Preferences.

Velocity Levels

The non-Mikro Maschines have a feature that allows you to reduce the number of velocity levels. By default, there are 128 velocity levels. This default corresponds to the value 0. Each time you increment the value, the number of velocity levels splits in half. The value can range from 0 to 7. At 7, there is only one velocity level, which is the same as fixed full velocity. To change this value, hold SELECT and turn the VELOCITY knob.
