The dials 

Ambient

Instrument Reverb

Room Reverb

 and 

Multi Effects

  allow for gradually dialing in 

settings  made  in  the 

Effects

  mode.  As  an  instance,  these  sliders  are  exact  representations  of  the 

corresponding pad slider in the 

FX Send

 mixer of the 

Effects

 module. On the right-hand side, you can 

turn on or mute the corresponding module in the 

Effects

 mode. Tap on the corresponding software 

dial and increase the amount of an effect by dragging the slider up. When muting an effect in this 
function set, the dial values are saved (provided you don´t change the Drum Kit before saving), so 
that they are remembered when turning on the effect again. The on/off buttons are an instance of 
the module switches in the 

Effects

 mode. When you turn off a module in 

Effects

, you also mute it in 

the 

Mix/Effect

 

Sends

  function  set  of  the 

Kit  Editor

  and  vice  versa.  Effect  dials  don´t  distinguish  be-

tween pad components but affect each component in the same way. For instance, it is not possible 
to assign a different ambience to a rim than to the matching head. 
 

 

Tip:

 All settings of this function set affect the currently active Input channel (pad) and/or its 

selected component as well as the active drum kit as a whole. Always be aware of the active 
drum kit, input channel and component, to keep track of your adjustments. Note that when 
changing the kit without saving, all adjustments are dismissed. Always save your work before 
moving on.

Although GEWA invested in  multi-dimensional sampling of sounds, it is  almost impossible to record 
any drum of any size and depth with any combination of differences in tension between top and 
resonant head. The number of required samples would be sheer endless and 

would exceed today’s 

capacities of memory. 
With this I mind, the function set 

Sound Edit

 offers tools to tweak the sound qualities of the recorded 

samples, such as changing the pitch and sustain of the drum. See all options below. 

9.3.2.1

UNING 

C

OARSE

 

This  dial  allows  for  rough  tuning  of  the  drum  in 

increments  of  semi  tones

.  With  the  default  fader 

position in the middle of the spectrum you can tune up or down by 12 whole tones in each direc-
tion,  giving  you  a  full  range  of 

24  whole  tones  (2  octaves)

.  Tuning  your  sounds  works  on  the 

pad 

component

  level,  so  that  you  can  tune  each  component  (e.g.  Head  or  Rim)  independently  from 

each other. 

9.3.2.2

 

T

UNING 

F

INE

 

From the chosen semi tone, you can fine tune the pitch. The default fader position is centered and 
has a full 

range of one semi tone

  (100 cents), allowing to tune  up or  down by  a quarter tone  (50 

cents). The relative range of -50 to +50 cents is translated into fader scales from 

0.00

 (-50 cents) to 

1.00

 (+50 cents).
