Comb filter (comb filt on)
You can activate a comb filter, a feedback delay that creates resonance-like
sounds comparable to a plucked string. The delay time and feedback levels
are permanently linked fo the filter parameters (frequency and resonance). This
comb filter is set as a preset and can not be changed.
Compressor
Controls the compressor strength. This lets you increase the "power" of the
drum sound.
Compressor response (comp resp)
Controls the compressor time. The lower the value, the faster the compressor
follows the volume.
Tube
Controls the level of the tube amp simulation. It "saturates" the output signal of
the voice and adds warmth to the sound if the settings are moderate.
Increasing the settings makes the sound "dirtier".
Volume/Pan
Controls the volume and panorama position of the drum instruments.
Sequencer
Incident lighting is used to control the drum patterns just like in all classical
drum computers and groove boxes. The step sequencer consists of 16
individual step buttons with LEDs corresponding to the appropriate partitioning
of a beat:
16ths or 32nds (a half beat is in each case displayed). A button lights up to
indicate the releasing of the instrument at this point in the beat (= step).
A left click turns on the step, a further left click deletes the step again.
A pattern can be a maximum of 4 beats long. The length can be
modified using the fader on the button bar.
The beat to be edited can be selected with the applicable “edit” button. The
“Follow” button specifies whether the step of a beat is in time.
