ATTACK adds a short fixed needle impulse to the sound’s start to support
its assertiveness. Always adjust ATTACK in correlation to the
complete mix. What might appear too intrusive when being soloed
might already sound too gentle within a full mix. We recommend
adding a little ATTACK even to soft drum sounds.
PITCH 2 sets the pitch/frequency of the second oscillator. However, its
base pitch is tied to PITCH. Changing PITCH will always change the
frequency of PITCH 2, too. PITCH 2 can be freely adjusted, so that
it sounds higher or lower than the first oscillator. With PITCH 2 set
fully counterclockwise, the second oscillator is turned off.
PITCH 3 sets the pitch/frequency of the third oscillator. However, its base
pitch is tied to PITCH. Changing PITCH will always change the
frequency of PITCH 3, too. PITCH 3 can be freely adjusted, so that
it sounds higher or lower than the first oscillator. With PITCH 3 set
fully counterclockwise, the third oscillator is turned off.
HIGH PASS adjusts the cutoff frequency of an additional high pass filter. It
allows attenuating bass frequencies of the sound if needed. The
filter’s effect depends upon the sound’s pitch. With PITCH/2/3
being adjusted above the 9 o’ clock position, the high pass filter’s
effect will be almost insignificant.
