CALIBRATING SYNAPSE TO YOUR PEDALS
Synapse can be configured to work with a wide variety of electronic pedals.
Out-of-the-box, Synapse is factory calibrated for basically any eKick pedals
(Inputs 1 & 2), a Roland FD-8 Hat pedal (Input 3), and a Roland FV50L
Expression pedal (Input 4).
Input 1 & Input 2: KICK 1 and KICK 2
Calibrating Synapse to your eKick pedals
- Most eKicks will work on Synapse Inputs 1 & 2 by just going with the
Synapse out-of-the-box factory settings.
You might want to adjust the “Strength” parameter for each kick to set how
easily it reaches full velocity on your hardest kicks. You might also want to
adjust the “Sensitivity” parameter to set how easy it is to trigger the kick on
