Description
Tune
Adjusts the pitch of the cymbal played by the middle C, measured
as a percentage. Available values range from 0.0 % to 100.0 %
(default: 50.0 %). For more details see
Decay
Adjusts the duration of the sound, measured as a percentage. A
short decay produces a closed hat; a long decay gives an open hi-
hat or cymbal. Available values range from 0.0 to 100.0 % (default:
65.0 %).
Gate
When enabled, the decay of the cymbal is choked by the end of the
note. When disabled (default), the cymbal 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).
TONE Section
Color
Adjusts the center frequency of the filter applied to the sound,
measured in hertz. Available values range from 932.3 Hz to
16.7 kHz (default: 7.4 kHz). The default position gives a standard
metallic analog hi-hat. Colored down, the sound is much more
melodic and in the midrange, good for percussion or effects. In a
way this parameter is a more effective tuning control than the
Tune
parameter itself. Note that the
Color
parameter also follows
keyboard tracking (i.e. the key/pad you play) along with the
Tune
parameter, limited to the range of the parameter.
Saturate
Adjusts the amount of analog-style saturation applied to the sound
for increased thickness, measured as a percentage. Available values
range from 0.0 to 100.0 % (default: 19.0 %).
Noise
Adusts the mix between an oscillator bank and white noise as the
signal source, measured as a percentage. Available values range
from 0.0 % (oscillator bank only) to 100.0 % (white noise only).
The default value is 10.0 %.
