Tune
<Tune>
<000-127>
This parameter determines the modulation intensity of the pitch
envelope. High values lead to the typical ”kick in the gut” known
from the 909, while lower values softer 808ish kick drums produce,
reaching down to tuned basses.

Pitch
<Pitch>
<000-127>
Changes the basic tone of the bass drum within a far range. This
results in very deep basses and reaches up to fairly high tones that
might appear not very similar to a bass drum any more.

» Note
: Please do not mistake tune and pitch of the bass drum. Because in
the historical predecessor TR-909 the actual pitch envelope was called tune,
the XBASE 999 keeps this tradition only with the bass drum. With all other
instruments the tune parameter is called ”tune”!
Attack
<Attac> <000-127>
In addition to the VCO, a mix from a short noise and pulse signal is
generated which together form the attack signal. These part signals
can individually be controlled (see lower). The attack parameter
controls the intensity of this signal mix in the bass drum.
