Tone
The Tone knob determines the brightness of the drum sound. Raising this parameter results in a brighter sound. The
Vel knob determines whether the sound should become brighter (positive Vel value) or darker (negative Vel value)
with higher velocity.
D The Tone and Vel knobs have LEDs that light up when the functions are activated (i.e. when a value other than
zero is selected).
! The Tone controls are available for drum sound channels 1, 2 and 10 only.
Sample Start
The Start parameter allows you to adjust the start point of the sample. The higher the Start value, the further the start
point is moved “into” the sample. If you set the Start Velocity knob to a positive amount, the sample start point is
moved forward with higher velocities. A negative Start Velocity amount inverts this relationship.
D When Start Velocity is set to any other value than zero, the LED above the knob lights up.
D A negative Start Velocity amount is only useful if you have set the Start parameter to a value higher than 0.
By raising the Start value a bit and setting Start Velocity to a negative value, you can create rather realistic velocity
control over some drum sounds. This is because the very first transients in the drum sound will only be heard when
you play hard notes.
! The Sample Start settings are available for drum sound channels 3-5, 8 and 9.
Global settings
Channel 8 & 9 Exclusive
If this button is activated, the sounds loaded into drum channels 8 and 9 will be exclusive. In other words, if a sound
is played in channel 8 it will be silenced the moment a sound is triggered in channel 9, and vice versa.
The most obvious application for this feature is to “cut off” an open hi-hat with a closed hi-hat, just like a real one
does.
