Leave ADSR Int turned up and try out different ADSR
slider positions. You will find that ADSR Int controls the
amount of the automated Cutoff movement, while ADSR
sliders control the curve form with which this timbre shift
takes place.
ADSR Int can be set to positive or negative values. Positive
ADSR Int values make Cutoff raise from its original posi-
tion with the curve specified by the ADSR sliders as you
press a key, and fall down to its original value when you re-
lease a key. Negative ADSR Int values makes Cutoff fall
down from its original position with the curve specified by
ADSR as you press a key, and rise up to its original value
when you release a key.
You can make ADSR Int sensitive to your playing style.
Try turning up Velo Filter above ADSR Int. This will make
ADSR Int react to how hard you hit a key. If Velo Filter is
turned full down, it does not matter how hard you hit a
key. Turning it up clockwise increases the sensivity,
meaning that you have to hit a key harder to reach the
ADSR Int value you have set. And if you do not want any
Cutoff movement at all, simply press the little “zero” sym-
bol right above ADSR Int. This will reset ADSR Int.
The final output level of the Percusor is controlled with
the Volume control. Sideway below Volume sits Velo Vol-
ume: turn it up to make the sound’s level react to how hard
you hit a key.
To give your carefully crafted Percusor sounds that cutting
edge, make sure you give the Chorus and Overdrive con-
trols to the right of the Percusor’s surface a try. Chorus will
broaden your sounds with a swirling effect, and Overdrive
will give them the aggressive bite to cut through even the
densest arrangements.
Faders and Level Adjustment
Level Meter: The channel strips have a level meter for
displaying playback or monitor level.
When you arm a track in preparation for recording, the
meter will display the input level.
Peak Hold: As with conventional mixing desk meters,
peak values are “held” on the display for a few seconds, so
that they can be read more easily. Even if your CPU pro-
cessing capacity is not sufficient for a smooth display, it
reliably shows the last maximum level.
Clip Detector: If the signal overloads, and goes into clip-
ping, the Clip detector (the red “virtual LED” at the top of
