THE TRACK EFFECTS
The TRACK EFFECT system is available for all 16 tracks as an extension to the machine
percussion synthesis. The track effects consist of individual effects for every track.
The effects that are available for each track are:
• Amplitude modulator
• 1-band parametric EQ
• Adjustable lo/hi/bandpass Filter
• Sample rate reduction
To access the track effects, press the [SYNTHESIS/EFFECTS/ROUTING] key until the
<EFFECTS> LED is lit. The rightmost text of the machine information area at the bottom
left will show “TFX” for effects. The TRACK EFFECT parameters for the active track are
now controlled by the DATA ENTRY knobs.
• The TRACK EFFECT system is a very powerful sound shaping tool. Use it to either
dramatically alter or subtly change the sound of a machine.
AMPLITUDE MODULATOR
The amplitude modulator is essentially a volume control which is controlled by a low fre-
quency oscillator. It is also known as a tremolo. The frequency of the Machinedrum ampli-
tude modulator can be very high, allowing extreme effects.
AMD controls the the modulation depth.
AMF controls the modulation frequency.
