• Release with Velocity and Modulation controls
Sets the release time for the amplitude envelope when ADSR is selected as Env Type. The release time can also
be velocity controlled according to the sensitivity set with the Vel knob. You can also control the release time from
the Mod Wheel with the amount set with the Mod knob. In Gate mode, the Release parameter has no effect.
• Pitch with Velocity control
Sets the overall pitch of all slices in the REX loop. The pitch can be velocity controlled according to the Vel knob
setting. A negative Vel setting will lower the pitch with increasing velocity and a positive setting will raise the pitch
with increasing velocity.
• Level with Velocity control
Sets the overall level of all slices in the REX loop. The level can be velocity controlled according to the Vel knob
setting. A negative Vel setting will lower the level with increasing velocity and a positive setting will raise the level
with increasing velocity.
At the top of the Nurse Rex panel is a button for setting the polyphony:
• Polyphonic means full polyphony
Retriggering the same slice/chunk will keep on adding more voices without muting any sustaining sounds.
• Monophonic will make any new triggered loop/slice/chunk mute any currently playing/sustaining sound.
Physical Bass Drum, Snare Drum and Tom Tom
The Physical Bass Drum, Snare Drum and Tom Tom use very faithful mathematical models for generating acoustic
drum sounds. The sounds of the PM drums are generated using physical modelling; mathematical real-time calcula-
tions of physical acoustic phenomena. The physical modelling technique allows for a lot more creative freedom, and
much wider sonic ranges, compared to sample playback.
General parameters
• Level
This controls the overall output level of the Drum module to the FX1 and FX2 Slots (see “Signal flow”). The Level
is also affected by velocity.
Drum head and shell parameters
The Physical Modelling Drums feature the following drum head and shell parameters:
