3.0 OPERATING THE BASSKICK 303
3.1 THE SOUNDMATRIX
The SoundMatrix is a new type of sound filtering system that
lets you dial in diverse basic tonal settings while ensuring
the response is always musical. Furthermore, these basic
sounds can be called up very quickly and easily.
The following three diagrams illustrate the three
fundamental sounds of the SoundMatrix as specific curves
on a 32-band graphic equalizer. In practice, however, the
SoundMatrix will always sound better; its filters deliver a
more harmonic, homogeneous result with less noise.
BassKick 303 Sound I:
The modern all-round sound, suitable for all playing styles.
BassKick 303 Sound II:
The typical slap sound - well-defined and precise.
BassKick 303 Sound III:
This sound delivers the warmth and tone for finger-style
playing, especially when used with fretless basses. Slight
preamp overdrive adds to the flavor. (See SECTION 3.2,
”THE GAIN SETTING”)
Deactivate the SoundMatrix by turning the rotary knob to
OFF. The BassKick EQ section remains active at all times.
