MAIN Section
Engine
Selects the engine used in the Kick Plug-in. If you change this
setting, please refer to section 10.2 “The Kicks” in the
MASCHINE 2.0 Manual.
Tune
Adjusts the pitch of the drum played by the middle C, measured in
MIDI note numbers and cents. Available values range from 31.00 to
55.00. The default value is 43.00.
Decay
Adjusts the duration of the sound’s tail, measured as a percentage.
Available values range from 0.0 to 100.0% (default: 50.0%).
Bend
Adjusts the amount of pitch envelope applied to the kick, measured
as a percentage. Available values range from 0.0 to 100.0%
(default: 6.8%).
Impact
Adjusts the amount of click or initial attack, measured as a
percentage. Available values range from 0.0 to 100.0% (default:
75.0%).
Gate
When enabled, the decay of the drum is choked by the end of the
note. When disabled, the drum plays as a one-shot sound, i.e. until
the end of its tail, no matter when the note is released, although the
sound duration will still depend on the
Decay
parameter (see
above). Switching
Gate
on and setting the
Decay
parameter to a
high value while playing short notes can result in a punchier, more
aggressive character than simply using short
Decay
values with
Gate
off.
