If you’re diving into fast, finger-tapping performance on the Quadwave’s touchpad, you’ll be happy to know that it’s fully capable of keeping up with your speed - as long as you remember this easy trick.

When playing rapid alternating patterns with two fingers, make sure your taps are spaced more than 1cm apart. If your finger touches happen too close together (1cm or less), the system might interpret them as a single dragged touch instead of two distinct taps. This can occasionally result in a missed note.

The good news? It’s easy to avoid. Just keep a bit of space between your fingers, and the Quadwave will respond with clear, consistent note triggering - even during your fastest runs.
