Element Description
Osc Mode Selects the oscillator mode: If you select Tonal (default), the engine uses two
oscillators running in parallel, the higher of which is extra sensitive to velocity
for increased expressivity. If you select Punchy, the engine uses one oscillator
with a pitch envelope.
Osc Mix Only available if Tonal is selected in the Osc Mode selector (see above). Ad-
justs the mix between both oscillators, measured as a percentage. Available
values range from 0.0 to 100.0 % (default: 50.0 %).
Punch Only available if Punchy is selected in the Mode selector (see above). Adjusts
the amplitude of the pitch envelope (punch), measured as a percentage. Avail-
able values range from 0.0 to 100.0 % (default: 25.0 %).
NOISE Section
Color Adjusts the tone of the “snare” portion of the sound, measured as a percent-
age. Available values range from 0.0 to 100.0 % (default: 50.0 %).
Amount Adjusts the level of the “snare” portion of the sound, measured as a percent-
age. Available values range from 0.0 to 100.0 % (default: 25.0 %).
Advanced Page
For this engine the Advanced page does not contain any parameters.
Modulation Page
As with all other engines and Drumsynths, the Modulation page contains one parameter: Veloc-
ity.
Element Description
SCALE Section
Velocity Adjusts the velocity response of the drum. Available values range from
-100.0 % to 100.0 % (default value). At zero (mid course), the drum is played
at full velocity, no matter how hard you hit the keys (or pads). From that mid
position, by turning the knob to the right you increase the positive velocity re-
sponse and make the drum more and more sensitive to the velocities at which
you hit the keys/pads. From the mid position, turning the knob to the left as
the inverse effect: the harder you hit the key/pad, the softer the resulting drum
sound will be.
