Native Instruments MASCHINE+ Standalone Production and Performance Instrument - Manual (Page 102)

All Drumsynths share the same parameter organization in the Plug-in view
• Their parameters are grouped into the same three Parameter pages:
• The Main page groups the most important parameters for each drum type. Here you can
select the engine to be used, the tuning, the decay, etc.
• The Advanced page provides access to more complex and finer adjustments to the drum
sounds.
• The Modulation page allows you to adjust the playability of the drum by setting its velocity
response.
• The Main page always starts with a MAIN section. The other sections on the page differ with
each Drumsynth and engine.
For a detailed description of each Drumsynth and their parameters, please refer to the
MASCHINE Software Manual available from the Native Instruments website.
10.8.4. Shared Parameters
Within each Drumsynth, some parameters are shared between several engines (e.g., the Tune
parameter). Shared parameters have the advantage of keeping their position when you switch to
another engine in the Drumsynth. This allows you to compare the sound of various engines more
easily.
The ranges of some shared parameters are different across engines. For example, this is
the case of the Tune parameter: When switching to another engine, the tuning might not
stay the same although the knob position is kept.
Determining which parameters are shared among engines is straightforward: If you find a
parameter in more than one engine, it is shared between these engines.
If you switch to another Drumsynth (for example, if you replace the Kick sitting in a Plug-in
slot with a Hi-hat) parameter positions will not be kept.
10.8.5. Various Velocity Responses
Each engine of each Drumsynth has a different response to the velocity of the notes you are
playing. Globally, engines can be grouped into two general categories:
