Noise Level
The
Noise Level
knob controls the amount of noise in the snare sound. You can turn the noise all the way off
to create a simple, short, electronic-sounding blip from the tone generator.
Noise Decay
The
Noise Decay
knob controls how long it takes the noise component of the snare sound to fade out to
silence. Turn this knob anti-clockwise to shorten the duration of the noise.
Snare 9
As you probably guessed from its name, Tattoo’s Snare 9 voice was derived from the TR-909 snare sound.
Our version has much more flexibility; while it can recreate the 909 sound accurately, it can produce a wide
range of sounds in its own right.
Tune
The
Tune
knob controls the pitch of the snare’s tone generator. Turn it clockwise to make the pitch higher,
anti-clockwise to make the pitch lower.
Noise Color
The
Noise Color
knob controls the filtering of the white-noise generator in the snare synthesizer. Turning the
knob clockwise moves the noise higher in the frequency spectrum, making it sound brighter.
Noise Level
The
Noise Level
knob controls the amount of noise in the snare sound. You can turn the noise all the way off
to create a simple, short, electronic-sounding blip from the tone generator.
