P-I
P-I is the physically informed MD-synth which
simulates the behaviour of acoustic drums.
BASS DRUM “PI-BD”
PTCH - Controls the basic pitch of the drum.
DEC - Controls the decay time.
HARD - A higher value gives a harder strike.
HAMR - A higher value gives a softer mallet.
TENS - Regulates the effect of the high tension in the skin
from a hard hit.
DAMP - Regulates the damping in the drum body.
SNARE DRUM “PI-SD”
PTCH - Controls the basic pitch of the drum.
DEC - Controls the decay time.
HARD - A higher value gives a harder strike.
TENS - Regulates the effect of the high tension in the skin
from a hard hit.
RVOL - The volume of the snares’ rattling.
RDEC - The decay time of the rattling.
RING - The drum’s metallic ringing.
TOM “PI-XT”
PTCH - Controls the basic pitch of the drum.
DEC - Sets the decay time of the drum.
HARD - A higher value gives a harder strike.
HAMR - A higher value gives a softer mallet.
TUNE - Emulates different tuning of skins.
DAMP - Regulates damping in the drum body.
SIZE - Regulates the size of the drum body.
POS - Moves the striking point from the center to the edge.
RIMSHOT “PI-RS”
PTCH - Controls the basic pitch of the rim shot.
DEC - Controls the decay time.
HARD - A higher value gives a harder strike.
RING - The drum’s metallic ringing.
RVOL - The volume of the snares’ rattling.
RDEC - The decay time of the rattling.
METALLICA “PI-ML”
PTCH - Controls the basic pitch of the sound.
DEC - Controls the decay time.
HARD - A higher value gives a harder strike.
TENS - Regulates the effect of a hard hit.
MARACAS “PI-MA”
DEC - Sets the decay time of the maraca.
GRNS - Adjusts the number of grains in the maraca.
GLEN - Adjusts the decay time for the individual grains.
SIZE - Regulates the size of the maraca.
HARD - Regulates the hardness of the grains.
HI HAT “PI-HH”
PTCH - Controls the basic pitch of the hi hat.
DEC - Sets the decay time of the hi hat.
CLSN - Simulates slight contact between the two cymbals
of the hihats.
RING - Controls the amount of ringing in the sound.
AG - Enhances the high frequencies of the sound.
AU - Decreases the high frequencies of the sound.
BR - Controls the low frequences of the sound.
CLOS - Sets the time to closing the hi hat. A value of 127
means that that the hi hat does not close.
