For more information on engines, see ↑9.1.1, Engines: Many Different Drums per Drumsynth. For
general information on the Kick and the other Drumsynths, see ↑9.1, Drumsynths – General Han-
dling.
9.2.1 Kick – Sub
The Sub engine is the default engine of the Kick.
Based on the kick from a classic analog drum machine, the Sub kick is a clean, subby, sine-
based kick drum which can be very effectively abused as a sub bass, tom or even a bleepy lead
if tuned up and played chromatically on the keyboard.
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
↑13.4, The Plug-in Strip for more information on this.
