9.2.3 Kick – Dusty
The Dusty kick is an electronic kick with an organic feel. It’s capable of broken, dusty 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
↑13.4, The Plug-in Strip for more information on this.
