Audio Damage Tattoo - Manual (Page 6)

Welcome
Thank you for purchasing Tattoo, Audio Damage's drum synthesizer and sequencer. With twelve voices
inspired by the famous X0X series of analog drum machines and an internal sequencer that is second to none,
Tattoo makes an excellent addition to the arsenal for any electronic music producer.
Each of the twelve internal voices has been created using our proprietary D-Plane synthesis, and each has
been extensively tested and tuned in order to have a broad palette. Every parameter of every voice has its
own modulation sequencer, allowing for extensive motion within a pattern.
The grid sequencer in Tattoo is a whole world unto itself, with comprehensive randomization features and
multiple sync modes, including a MIDI note sync to enable use with virtually any time signature, groove
template, or host swing. The sequencer has MIDI out (VST only) to drive other sound sources, to double or
replace Tattoo's internal sounds.
In short, Tattoo is more than a simple drum synth; it is a complete rhythm programming environment, a
fantasy come true for any fan of vintage drum machines. We hope you enjoy your purchase, and once you've
had a browse around the user interface, please take the time to come back and read this manual to learn how
to fully exploit the feature set of Tattoo.
