LAYER 

With  LAYER  you  determine  the  way  each  sample  layer  (volume  levels)  of  the  sound 
will be triggered. 

 

Var

: : (default setting of most sounds) At random, the module selects a layer which is in 

the volume range that best matches the trigger-impulse intensity. With this setting, the 
typical "machine gun effect" is avoided, because even with an identical trigger impulse 
at  the  following  beat,  another  sound  layer  will  be  used  (randomly)  and  previously 
generated sound layers can still fade out completely. 

 

Top

: Regardless of the velocity, always the "top layer" sound, i.e. the loudest layer is 

used. 

 

Fix: 

always  the  layer  matching  the  trigger  impulse  best  is  used.  I.e.  with  identical 

trigger-impulse intensity the same layer is used. 

 

In all three situations the audible volume of the sound corresponds with the intensity of the 
stroke, only the layer within the sound selected by the module changes. When a loop sound 
is selected, only "fix" is available. 

 

Custom Sounds 

With the 2BOX sound editor you can create custom 2BOX sound files (.dsnd) from your own 
samples (see separate instructions for the Editor). For custom sounds with only a few layers 
(1-10  layers)  the  layer  setting  "FIX"  should  be  selected  for  the  parameter  settings  on  this 
page, because otherwise the sound has an unnatural effect. 

 

VOICE 

The values 

Poly

 and 

Mono

 are available here. When "Mono" is selected, a sound layer 

can only sound exactly once and might be truncated.  

 

ATTACK 

This  parameter  defines  the  transient  response  of  the  sound.  The  minimum  value  "0" 
defines  that  the  sound  starts  immediately.  A  value  >0  sets  the  time  until  maximum 
volume is reached. 

 

HOLD 

With  HOLD  you  determine  for  how  long  this  maximum  volume  will  sound.  Combined 
with other parameters alienated sounds can be produced this way. 

 

DECAY 

This  value  determines  how  long  the  underlying  sample  of  the  sound  will  be  played 
back. With the 

setting ∞ (infinity), the whole sample will be played back.
