3.11. MODULATIONS
CHAPTER 3. DRUM SYNTHESIZER
• DEF + definable knob or SHIFT + T (knob above slider) defines a channel’s
attack time, between 0 and 20ms. The functionality of DEF+def knob and
SHIFT+T is identical.
• DEF + button A..F defines the active channel’s sidechain source.

Gain setting
Each instrument also has a so-called ’gain’ setting. If you are using the DR-2 for
playing live, you maybe don’t want to be finetuning the different instruments levels
everytime you touch a fader.
Therefore, there is the gain setting. By using SHIFT+slider you can set the level
that corresponds to the volume level when the volume slider is all the way up. Consider
it a bit as the gain setting on top of the channel strip of a mixing desk.
So, the gain setting allows you to balance the fine level adjustments right in your
studio, to let you use the full range of the sliders afterwards, for example when playing
live, without the risk of setting one of the instruments too loud or out of balance.
• Use SHIFT + slider to set an instruments’ gain.
Note: turning down its slider is not the only way of muting an instrument. You can
also use SHIFT + A..F buttons to toggle mute/unmute of an instrument.

Modulations
You can bring a lot more ’life’ in your drum riffs by using modulations that avoid every
drum to sound exactly identical. Modulations alter the parameter value of one the drum
model’s parameters. There are 4 different ways of modulation:
• Random: keep the RANDOM button pressed and turn one of a drum’s parameter
knobs. Now you’ll hear a random variation of this parameter with every drum hit.
Random can be connected to one parameter per drum. Double click RANDOM
to remove the modulation.
