Modulation Page
As with all other engines and Drumsynths, the Modulation page contains one parameter: Veloc-
ity.
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 and more sensitive to the velocities 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.
9.5.2 Tom – Fractal
The Fractal tom is a modern electronic tom with a broad sonic range from pure and analog-
sounding through organic and percussive through bell-like to totally alien. It uses a tone oscil-
lator and a feedback oscillator bank (like the one used in the Fractal engine of the Percussion,
see ↑9.6.1, Percussion – Fractal), the balance between which is controlled by the Mix parame-
ter on the Advanced page. The tone oscillator on its own produces a simple analog-style bleepy
tom. The addition of the feedback oscillator bank facilitates a much wider 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
↑13.4, The Plug-in Strip for more information on this.
