Parameters

OSC

Synth Specific:

• Mix Type – Mix Algorithm between OSC1 and OSC2. Add, Mul (multiply. AKA ringmod), PM (Phase mod. AKA FM synthesis) and Sync (OSC1 syncs OSC2
• Mix Balance – Mix Balance between OSC1 and OSC2
• OSC1 Wave – Oscillator 1 waveform
• OSC2 Wave – Oscillator 2 waveform
• OSC2 Semi Tune - Oscillator 2 Semitone tuning
• OSC2 Fine Tune – Oscillator 2 Fine tuning (in cents)
• Noise Level – Noise Volume. Noise is Added to OSC2.

Snare Specific:

• Snap Time – Length of initial ‘Snap’. Basically a quick burst of noise.
• Snap Tone - Lowpass Filter frequency applied to the Snap burst.
• Tone - Lowpass Filter frequency of the main body of the snare sound.
• Drum Head Level - Volume of the drum head tone (which is a fixed frequency oscillator).
• Crack Speed - Rate at which the envelopes are retriggered. This is used for ‘clap’ sounds.
• Crack Time - Duration in which the sound is retriggered. This is used for ‘clap’ sounds.

Cymbal Specific:

• Freq Spread - Spread multiplier of the frequencies in the cymbal sound.
• Freq1 - Frequency Peak 1
• Freq2 – Frequency Peak 2
• Bandwidth1 - Bandwidth of Peak 1
• Bandwidth2 - Bandwidth of Peak 2

ENV

All/Several:

• Decay – Amplitude Envelope Decay
• Shape – Amplitude Envelope Shape. See ‘A Note About Shape’ at the bottom.
• Amp Attack – Amplitude Envelope Attack
• Amp Decay – Amplitude Envelope Decay
• Amp Shape – Amplitude Envelope Shape. See ‘A Note About Shape’ at the bottom.

Synth Specific:

• Filter Attack – Filter Envelope Attack
• Filter Decay – Filter Envelope Decay
• Filter Shape – Filter Envelope Shape
• Pitch Env Decay – Pitch Envelope Decay. Pitch Envelope is an Exponential envelope.
• Pitch Env Shape – Pitch Envelope Shape

FILTER

• Filter Type – Type of filter. Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass and Notch
• Filter EnvMod – The degree that the Filter Envelope affects the cutoff frequency. Can be positive or negative.
• Cutoff – Filter center frequency.
• Resonance – Filter peak or sharpness. Also called Q.
• Drive – Filter Drive. Higher drive settings have the effect of reducing resonance, but yield a heavier, bassier sound.
• Clip – Hard distortion circuit. On or Off.

MOD

Synth Specific:

• OSC1 Pitch Env Amnt – Pitch mod for OSC1
• OSC2 Pitch Env Amnt – Pitch mod for OSC2
• Pitch Env to Mix Bal
• Pitch Glide

SimpleDrum Specific:

• Pitch Mod Depth – Amount of modulation
• Pitch Mod Rate – Rate of Modulation
• Pitch Mod Type – Type of modulation. Envelope, Saw Oscillator, Sine Oscillator, or Random Generator. Random modulation can be used to get ‘pitched noise’ sounds.

Snare Specific:

• Trigger to Drum Head – Degree that Trigger affects the Drum Head volume
• Trigger to Drum Tone - Degree that Trigger affects Drum Tone.

All/Several:

• Trigger to Amp Env – Degree that Trigger affects overall Volume Level of the Part
• Trigger to Amp Decay - Degree that Trigger affects Amp Envelope Decay
• Trigger to Pitch Env - Degree that Trigger affects Pitch Envelope
• Trigger to Filter Env – Degree that Trigger affects Filter Envelope
• Muted - Whether this part is muted or not. This is the same as going to the Performance page and Muting the part.
• Level – Volume Level
• Pan – Stereo Pan

A Note About Shape

This diagram should illustrate how envelopes and the Shape parameter works. The Synth and Cymbal parts have an Attack / Decay / Hold Envelope. The rest of the Parts use simpler Exponential Envelopes.
