Native Instruments MASCHINE MK3 Groove Production Studio (Black) - Manual (Page 448)

Element Description
Bend Adjusts the pitch sweep of the sound, measured as a percentage.
Available values range from -100.0 % to 100.0 % (default: 0.0 %).
At zero the sound stays at its original pitch during its entire
decaying phase. At higher values, the pitch bends upwards. At lower
values, the pitch bends downwards.
Impact Adjusts the amount of attack, measured as a percentage. Available
values range from 0.0 % (soft attack) to 100.0 % (maximum
attack). The default value is 80.0 %.
Advanced Page
The Advanced page contains parameters controlling the individual oscillators.
Element Description
HARMONICS Section
Interval Adjusts the interval between the two oscillators, measured in
semitones and cents. Available values range from -0.50 to 13.50
(default: 6.50). At low values the oscillators are tuned close
together, giving a detuned sound which can be used for basslines.
FM Freq Adjusts the frequency of the FM oscillator, measured as a
percentage. Available values range from 0.0 to 100.0 % (default:
50.0 %).
FM Decay Adjusts the decay of the FM oscillator, measured as a percentage.
Available values range from 0.0 to 100.0 % (default: 35.0 %).
Short decays are useful to supplement the attack or impact of the
tom. Long decays can be used to embellish the tone or timbre of
the tom, especially when applied subtly (see
FM Amount below).
FM Amount Adjusts the amount of frequency modulation applied by the FM
oscillator, measured as a percentage. Available values range from
0.0 to 100.0 % (default: 10.0 %). At 0.0 % there is no frequency
modulation so the other FM controls ( FM Freq and FM Decay ) have
no effect.
