Element Description
HYBRID Section
Bend Adjusts the amount of a pitch envelope for sound design purposes.
It is a bipolar control ranging from -100.0 to 100.0% (default:
0.0%)
Rattle Adjusts the amount of sizzling from the hi-hat. It is more noticeable
with long decays. Available values range from 0.0 to 100.0%
(default: 50.0%).
Modulation Page
Like with all other engines and Drumsynths, the Modulation page contains one parameter: Ve-
locity.
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 response and make the drum more
sensitive to the velocity 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.
9.4.5 Creating a Pattern with Closed and Open Hi-hats
Don’t hesitate to use a few Hi-hat Plug-ins within a Choke group! Indeed, by loading two Hi-hat
Plug-ins with different settings in two different Sounds (one for the closed hi-hat, one for the
open hi-hat), then assigning both Sounds to the same Choke group, and leaving both as Master
in the group, you can recreate mutually exclusive hi-hat sounds that cancel each other out
