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 a keyboard or the pads.
In

Dissonant

mode the oscillators track the

Tune

parameter you’re

your keyboard) unevenly. Therefore, the drum produces dissonant,
detuned harmonics when the

Tune

parameter is adjusted or when

you play different notes on a keyboard or the pads.

Freq A

Adjusts the pitch of oscillator A within the feedback oscillator bank,

measured as a percentage. Available values range from 0.0 to

100.0 % (default: 50.0 %).

Freq B

Adjusts the pitch of oscillator B within the feedback oscillator bank,

measured as a percentage. Available values range from 0.0 to
100.0 % (default: 50.0 %). Note that this parameter has no effect

when

FM

and

AM

are set to zero (see below).

Freq C

Adjusts the pitch of oscillator C within the feedback oscillator bank,
measured as a percentage. Available values range from 0.0 to
100.0 % (default: 29.1 %). Note that this parameter has no effect

when

FM

and

AM

are set to zero (see below).

FM

Adjusts the amount of frequency modulation within the feedback
oscillator bank, measured as a percentage. Frequency modulation
tends to add bell-like, ringing overtones. Available values range

from 0.0 to 100.0 % (default: 34.4 %).

AM

Adjusts the amount of amplitude modulation within the feedback

oscillator bank, measured as a percentage. Amplitude modulation
tends to add brash, bright overtones. Available values range from

0.0 to 100.0 % (default: 18.6 %).
