Configuring Your Own Gesture

Just under the green button there is an input to select the note to be triggered. MASTAX can send two diferents notes, using soft and hard movements.
There are 3 sliders to calibrate the gesture of the movement, in order to make it more or less sensible:

  • Blue (Real Gesture):
    • Is the current acceleration force,
      • steps has a weak acceleration force, and kicks and jumps are stronger movements.
      • This values are totally diferents between persons.

      • It’s not possible to move this value(from the app) because is just a reference ( move cerebrum device and see how this value chages.)

  • Pink (MAX Gesture):
    • is the max top limit acceleration.

    • NOTE: (if this value is too high could be difficult to trigger.)

  • Yellow (MIN Gesture):
    • is the minimun acceleration value.

    • NOTE: (if this value is too low, could be very sensible being activated when is notrequired.)
