Description

Color

Adjusts a simple filter which affects the brightness of the sound.

Available values range from 0.0 to 100.0 % (default: 50.0 %).

Glide

The tuning of the Fractal tom is locked for each note; in other words

the change in tuning is applied only when a new note is received.
When the

Glide

parameter is set higher than zero, the pitch glides

smoothly to the new tuning. The

Glide

parameter then defines the

duration this glide takes, measured in milliseconds: as you increase

the

Glide

value, the glide gets slower and more audible. This also

applies when the tom is played across the keyboard. Available

values range from

None

(no glide) to 350.0 ms (slowest glide). The

default value is 5.5 ms.

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 the keyboard.
In

Dissonant

mode the oscillators track the

Tune

parameter of your

keyboard/pads unevenly. Therefore, the drum produces dissonant,

detuned harmonics when the

Tune

parameter is adjusted or when

you play different notes.

Mix

Adjusts the mix between the tone oscillator and the feedback
oscillator bank, measured as a percentage. Available values range
from 0.0 % (tone oscillator only) to 100.0 % (feedback oscillator

bank only). The default value is 5.0 %.
