Element Description
Bias Adjusts the timbre of the distortion, measured as a percentage.
Available values range from 0.0 to 100.0 % (default: 50.0 %). At
zero, the distortion is symmetrical and introduces mostly odd
harmonics. As the Bias value is increased, the distortion becomes
more asymmetric and more even harmonics are introduced,
resulting in a different tonality, especially at more subtle Gain
settings.
Mix Adjusts the mix between the clean and distorted signal, measured
as a percentage. Available values range from 0.0 to 100.0 %
(default: 50.0 %). At zero, none of the distorted drum will be heard.
At 100.0 %, only the distorted drum will be heard.
Changes to the distortion parameters are only audible when the Mix parameter is set above 0 %.
Modulation Page
As with all other engines and Drumsynths, the Modulation page contains one parameter: Veloc-
ity .
Element Description
SCALE Section
Velocity Adjusts the velocity response of the drum. Available values range
from -100.0 % to 100.0 % (default value). At zero (mid course),
the drum is played at full velocity, no matter how hard you hit the
keys (or pads). From that mid position, by turning the knob to the
right you increase the positive velocity response and make the drum
more and more sensitive to the velocities at which you hit the keys/
pads. From the mid position, turning the knob to the left as the
inverse effect: the harder you hit the key/pad, the softer the
resulting drum sound will be.
