THE SOUND SYNTHESIS OF THE MACHINEDRUM
14
Every track has its own dedicated effect module, called the TRACK EFFECT system. Each
track effect delivers hi/lo/band-pass resonant 24dB filter, amplitude modulation, 1-band eq
and sample rate reduction. The settings of effects are saved in the kit as well. The TRACK
EFFECT system is explained in section “THE TRACK EFFECTS”, on page 22.
The ROUTING page controls pan, delay send, reverb send, output distortion and volume.
The routing options are discussed in section “THE ROUTING PAGE”, on page 25.
The Machinedrum offers 16 assignable Low Frequency Oscillators (LFO’s) that you can
connect to any synthesis parameter, track effect or routing parameter. More about the
LFO’s can be found in section “LOW FREQUENCY OSCILLATORS (LFO’s)”, on page 32.
The STEREO MASTER EFFECT system containing delay, reverb, EQ and compression
add further to the sound shaping possibilities of the Machinedrum. Read more about the
“THE STEREO MASTER EFFECT SYSTEM” on page 28.

The kit name
All kits are battery backed and user definable. A total of 64 user kits can be stored in mem-
ory. When in EXTENDED mode, kits are connected to patterns. Selecting a new pattern will
then automatically load the associated kit. In CLASSIC mode, kits and patterns are not
linked. Read more about this in the chapter “CLASSIC VS EXTENDED” on page 35.
•
You can either assemble a kit from scratch or modify an existing one and then
save it to a new position. Building your kit from an existing one is often quicker.
