Hi Hat 1/Hi Hat 2 - Vermona DRM1 MKIII User Manual

☛
Different kind of percussion sounds are possible, only by using the snare drum's
filter section but leaving out the NOISE component. With FILTER and RESO
being fully opened, the result will sound clave-like. By attenuating RESO, this
sound turns into a snare resembling a preset-beat-box from '78. Lowering FILTER
and combine it with different RESO settings, leads to creditable 8-toms, congas
and bongos. (see "SNARE" on page 47)

HI HAT 1/HI HAT 2

Figure 7: HI HAT 1 instrument channel of the DRM1 MKIII - HI HAT 1 and HI HAT 2 are identical
These two instrument channels are meant to create hi-hats but also cymbal sounds. Achieve a
broad spectrum of cymbals, percussions and sound effects on a basis of filtered noise and a metallic
oscillator mixture.
sets the release time or the sound's length.
DECAY
sets the cutoff frequency of the low pass filter, coloring the overall sound of the
FILTER
channel.
adjusts the amount of a possible cutoff modulation by the DECAY envelope. In its
BEND
central position, no modulation is present. Turn clockwise from the center position
to modulate the filter's cutoff frequency, descending it. Turn counterclockwise
from the center position will invert the modulation, resulting in an ascending cutoff
frequency. This modulation interacts with the DECAY setting.
adds a short fixed needle impulse to the sound's start to support the hi-hat and
ATTACK
cymbals' assertiveness. Always adjust ATTACK in correlation to the complete mix.
The pitch of the impulse can be adjusted in parallel with the oscillator mixture
using PITCH.
specifies the intensity of the filter's resonance which, as a result, shapes the sound
RESO
coloration of the hi-hat- and cymbal.
