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.
10.2.4 Kick – Grit
The Grit kick is a modern electronic kick drum to suit a wide range of styles. It’s quite versa-
tile: with a long decay it has a deep, boomy and airy tonality, but tightened up, it can thump
with the best of them. At high tunings, especially with extreme “Aero Grind” and “Aero
Amount” values, it becomes very gritty and bitcrushed, great for IDM and electro.
The parameters described below are presented as they appear in the Control area (Ar-
range view). The same parameters are available in the Plug-in panel within the Plug-in
Strip (Mix view) — for more information please refer to section 9.4 “The Plug-in Strip”
in the MASCHINE 2.0 Manual.
