Element Description
Bend Adjusts the amplitude of the pitch envelope applied throughout the sound du-
ration (punch), measured as a percentage. Available values range from 0.0 to
100.0 % (default: 6,8 %). At zero, the sound stays at its original pitch during
its entire decaying phase. As the Bend value is increased, an increasing
amount of pitch envelope is applied. This means that the pitch of the drum
starts at a higher value and falls to the original value as the sound decays. The
greater the Bend value, the higher the starting pitch.
Time Adjusts the decay time of the pitch envelope, measured as a percentage. Avail-
able values range from 0.0 to 100.0 % (default: 30 %). Note that if the Time
value is too long compared to the Decay value, you won’t hear the entire pitch
drop but only its beginning — i.e. you will hear a higher pitch than the one set
by Tune.
ATTACK Section
Mode Selects the style of the attack: Thin selects a thin-sounding click, Thick selects
a slightly rounder click with added noise, and Noise uses just a noise burst for
a less clicky attack.
Color Only available if Thick or Noise is selected in the Mode selector. Adjusts the
color of the attack, measured as a percentage. Available values range from 0.0
to 100.0 % (default: 50.0 %). At lower values the attack is duller. Increase the
Color value to get a more incisive attack.
Amount Adjusts the level of the attack. Available values range from 0.0 % (soft attack)
to 100.0 % (maximum attack). The default value is 50.0 %.
