EFM

The EFM MD-synth introduces Elektron’s
“Enhanced Feedback Modulation” algorithms.
The generated sound ranges from realistic
acoustic drums to wild, chaotic effects.

BASS DRUM “EFM-BD”

PTCH - Controls the basic pitch of the drum.

DEC - Controls the decay time.

RAMP - The pitch ramp depth.

RDEC - The pitch ramp decay time. A higher value gives a
longer decay.

MOD - The frequency modulation depth.

MFRQ - The modulation frequency.

MDEC - The modulation decay time.

MFB - Modulation feedback.

SNARE DRUM “EFM-SD”

PTCH - Controls the basic pitch of the drum.

DEC - Controls the decay time.

NOISE - The amount of noise in the snare drum.

NDEC - Noise decay time.

MOD - The frequency modulation depth.

MFRQ - The modulation frequency.

MDEC - The modulation decay time.

HPF - High pass filter frequency.

TOM “EFM-XT”

PTCH - Controls the basic pitch of the drum.

DEC - Controls the decay time.

RAMP - The pitch ramp depth.

RDEC - The pitch ramp decay time. A higher value gives a
longer decay.

MOD - The frequency modulation depth.

MFRQ - The modulation frequency.

MDEC - The modulation decay time.

CLIC - Adds a click to the start of the drum.

CLAP “EFM-CP”

PTCH - Controls the basic pitch of the drum.

DEC - Controls the decay time.

CLPS - The number of claps.

CDEC - The clap decay time. A higher value gives a longer
decay.

MOD - The frequency modulation depth.

MFRQ - The modulation frequency.

MDEC - The modulation decay time.

HPF - High pass filter frequency.

RIMSHOT “EFM-RS”

PTCH - Controls the basic pitch of the drum.

DEC - Controls the decay time.

MOD - The frequency modulation depth.

HPF - High pass filter frequency.

SNAR - Adds snare drum timbre to the sound.

SPTC - The pitch of the snare drum timbre.

SDEC - The decay of the snare drum timbre.

SMOD - The modulation depth of the snare drum timbre.

COWBELL “EFM-CB”

PTCH - Controls the basic pitch.

DEC - Controls the decay time.

SNAP - The amount of snap in the beginning of the sound.

FB - Feedback amount.

MOD - The frequency modulation depth.

MFRQ - The modulation frequency.

MDEC - The modulation decay time.
