Description
Color
Adjusts a simple filter which affects the brightness of the sound.
Available values range from 0.0 to 100.0 % (default: 50.0 %).
Glide
The tuning of the Fractal tom is locked for each note; in other words
the change in tuning is applied only when a new note is received.
When the
Glide
parameter is set higher than zero, the pitch glides
smoothly to the new tuning. The
Glide
parameter then defines the
duration this glide takes, measured in milliseconds: as you increase
the
Glide
value, the glide gets slower and more audible. This also
applies when the tom is played across the keyboard. Available
values range from
None
(no glide) to 350.0 ms (slowest glide). The
default value is 5.5 ms.

Advanced

HARMONICS Section
KTr. Mode
(Key
Tracking Mode)
Selects from two key tracking modes:
Harmonic
(default) and
Dissonant
.
In
Harmonic
mode all oscillators track the
Tune
parameter (on the
Main
page, see above) and your keyboard evenly. Therefore, the
drum stays in tune with itself as the
Tune
parameter is adjusted,
and can be played chromatically across the keyboard.
In
Dissonant
mode the oscillators track the
Tune
parameter of your
keyboard/pads unevenly. Therefore, the drum produces dissonant,
detuned harmonics when the
Tune
parameter is adjusted or when
you play different notes.
Mix
Adjusts the mix between the tone oscillator and the feedback
oscillator bank, measured as a percentage. Available values range
from 0.0 % (tone oscillator only) to 100.0 % (feedback oscillator
bank only). The default value is 5.0 %.
