Instruments in the following categories:
• Drum Kits, including several complete new kits and a drum toolkit.
• Guitars, including a steel resonator guitar, a bluegrass banjo, an acoustic folk guitar, and three
new electric guitars, with harmonics and tapping.
• Basses, including a variety of new electric basses and an “unplugged” acoustic bass guitar.
• Mallets, including a steel drum band.
This document describes the Drum Kit, Bass, Guitar, and Mallet instruments included in Rhythm
Section, and lists controller information for each instrument.
Drum Kits
Rhythm Section includes 10 new drum kits, featuring both classic and contemporary drum
sounds. In addition, you can modify the sound of each drum kit in real time using keyboard
controllers, including the modulation (mod) wheel and pitch bend wheel. The following table
lists controller information for the drum kits.
Drum Kit Controller Info
Cavern Kit • Raising the mod wheel closes the cutoff filter and increases resonance.
• Moving the pitch bend wheel raises or lowers the pitch of many drum
sounds (up to 3 octaves higher or lower), so you can change their pitch
over time.
• You can shorten or lengthen the length of most drum sounds using the
Release slider in the Generator editor window. Drag the slider left to create
short, tight, punchy sounds, used in certain styles of music.
• When using the hi-hat drum sounds (notes F#1 and A#1 in most drum
kits), playing one note will stop the sound of the previously played note,
like closing a hi-hat with a foot pedal.
