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.
