Pad calibration:

There is a hidden setup for calibrating the pads. It is currently set to the most sensitive/expressive because the feeling is that it plays the best in this setting. But it can be "de-sensitized" if desired.

Do the following when powering on the PadKONTROL:

a. Current settings hold both the [VELOCITY] & [SCENE] keys
b. Slightly less hold both the [VELOCITY] & [MESSAGE] keys
c. Even less hold both the [VELOCITY] & [FIXED.VELOCITY] keys
d. Least sensitive hold both the [VELOCITY] & [PROG CHANGE] keys

These settings will be remembered with no other action taken.

The current setting works very well in most cases and produces the expressive sensitivity that is KORG's trademark. In situations where the pad is hit extremely hard or placed in a way that it might bounce/vibrate, the issue may arise.
