Element Description
Bend Adjusts the amplitude of the pitch envelope applied throughout the
sound duration (punch), measured as a percentage. Available values
range from 0.0 to 100.0 % (default: 6,8 %). At zero, the sound
stays at its original pitch during its entire decaying phase. As the
Bend value is increased, an increasing amount of pitch envelope is
applied. This means that the pitch of the drum starts at a higher
value and falls to the original value as the sound decays. The
greater the
Bend value, the higher the starting pitch.
Time Adjusts the decay time of the pitch envelope, measured as a
percentage. Available values range from 0.0 to 100.0 % (default:
30 %). Note that if the Time value is too long compared to the
Decay value, you won’t hear the entire pitch drop but only its
beginning — i.e. you will hear a higher pitch than the one set by
Tune .
ATTACK Section
Mode Selects the style of the attack: Thin selects a thin-sounding click,
Thick selects a slightly rounder click with added noise, and Noise
uses just a noise burst for a less clicky attack.
Color Only available if Thick or Noise is selected in the Mode selector.
Adjusts the color of the attack, measured as a percentage. Available
values range from 0.0 to 100.0 % (default: 50.0 %). At lower
values the attack is duller. Increase the Color value to get a more
incisive attack.
Amount Adjusts the level of the attack. Available values range from 0.0 %
(soft attack) to 100.0 % (maximum attack). The default value is
50.0 %.
