10.5.3 Tom – Floor
The Floor Tom is an acoustic tom that provides the emulation of a complete set of toms. Al-
though it is more suitable for floor and low toms, it is also capable of producing interesting
mid and high toms. Furthermore the control over the pitch bend and the mute parameters al-
low for a wide range of sounds.
The parameters described below are presented as they appear in the Control area (Arrange
view). The same parameters are available in the Plug-in panel within the Plug-in Strip (Mix
view). See ↑9.4, The Plug-in Strip for more information on this.
