Modulation Page
As with all other engines and Drumsynths, the Modulation page contains one parameter: Veloc-
ity .
Element Description
SCALE Section
Velocity Adjusts the velocity response of the drum. Available values range
from -100.0 % to 100.0 % (default value). At zero (mid course),
the drum is played at full velocity, no matter how hard you hit the
keys (or pads). From that mid position, by turning the knob to the
right you increase the positive velocity response and make the drum
more and more sensitive to the velocities at which you hit the keys/
pads. From the mid position, turning the knob to the left as the
inverse effect: the harder you hit the key/pad, the softer the
resulting drum sound will be.
9.2.2 Kick – Tronic
Fat, punchy and warm, the Tronic kick is based on another classic analog kick drum which has
provided the backbone to countless dance and electronic records for the past 30 years. The
Tronic kick takes this classic a step further with extended parameter ranges and chromatic
playability, but also adds a specially designed distortion section capable of a wide range of tex-
tures, from subtly rounded to all-out gabber assault.
The parameters described below are presented as they appear in the Control area (Arrange view).
The same parameters are available in the Plug-in panel within the Plug-in Strip (Mix view). See
↑ 13.4, The Plug-in Strip for more information on this.
